Persian Bolt sets the standard with a mark of 74 but has yet to match her debut effort at Salisbury in September. TAKREYM makes more appeal on his comeback having found only one too good at Leicester on his introduction especially if first-time blinkers have the desired effect. Swanwick Shore never figured on his debut in soft ground at Newbury while Chantecler, a half-brother to a winner over a mile, is preferred to fellow newcomers Chauvelin and Oskar Denarius.
Chantecler Authorized gelding out of Snow Goose.
Chauvelin Sir Percy gelding out of Enforce.
Oskar Denarius (IRE) Authorized gelding out of Elizabethan Age.
