Luloah and Undeterred stand out here with Undeterred getting the call; He's The Rocket could prove best of the rest. Undeterred won three on the bounce on Turf in August, achieving a rating of 76 in the process. Much as this is his all-weather debut, anywhere near his best form would see him hard to beat. Luloah (who was beaten as favourite in a seller on Wednesday) won a similar event over six furlongs at Lingfield last time, confirming earlier promise. She should go well if taking part. Take out these two and He's A Rocket, who is a course and distance winner, would appear to hold solid claims. He ought to go well anyway, but Undeterred gets the vote.
