Verdict

KHAFAR went the wrong way after a promising start last year but now starts out for a thriving yard and has been found a weak race that gives her strong claims to get off the mark. Goomah and Valentino Eclipse are the only others to make any significant appeal.

10	Looked promising for Charles Hills when second on debut at Newbury in August but went the wrong way on all-weather afterwards, shaping as if amiss when last seen. Off 7 months and starts out for a bang in-form yard in a race that won't take much winning. 1st Pick 10 Khafar (Ire) Jockey: William James Lee Trainer: P. Twomey, Ireland J: William James Lee T: P.

9	Showed fair form when mid-field both 2-y-o outings and is bred to do better at some stage. Returns from 226 days off in a race that looks within her capabilities granted a small step forward. 2nd Pick 9 Goomah (Ire) Jockey: W. M. Lordan Trainer: Miss Natalia Lupini, Ireland J: W. M.

5	Gleneagles colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 6f winner Thunder Eclipse and 6f winner Eclipse Emerald. Wears hood for debut and is starting out in a weak affair so perfectly reasonable to think he'll go close if possessing enough know-how. 3rd Pick 5 Valentino Eclipse (Ire) Jockey: Seamie Heffernan Trainer: J.
