|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a solid tempo. ELIGIUS (1) ran a good second on debut when had sound backing too. Drawn the ace here. Obvious win chance as the only runner in this field that has raced before. APOLLO WARRIOR (4) is on debut. By Brazen Beau and is out of the Dean Wiles stable. Has won all his three trials. Well drawn and in a weak field here. Definite chance. HEAVY IS THE CROWN (5) is a Carl Henderson trained three-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Twice trialled and won the latest of them. He looks a good chance here in such a tiny field after scratchings. FRACAS (7) is a gelding by Belardo facing the starter for the first time. Has had three trials for one third. Dam has left Platinum Designs (3 wins). Looks the outsider in this small field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Eligius looks the winner here as the only runner with raceday experience. Apollo Warrior has won all his three trials so is the danger.
