Champagne Powder
Had useful form in France early in his career; progress has stalled but even his two defeats in Britain this autumn read well in the context of this field; set a strong pace before weakening in the final furlong when third in a Southwell novice two weeks ago; might take some pegging back if similar tactics are adopted around here.

- Dupont Circle
- Georgia Dobie / Craig Benton

|
125/1 |
Dupont Circle
3,500gns 2yo; third foal; brother to US 5f turf winner Blue Eyed Soul, closely related to Canadian 5f/6.5f AW winner Mendeljohn; dam US 5f winner; some paper appeal but slightly disconcerting to see him starting off at a mile given the speed in his pedigree.

Lowestoft
250-1 and offered little at Southwell two weeks ago (1m).

4/1 |
Oceans Five
In need of the experience when down the field at 33-1 in a Newmarket maiden (7f, good to soft) last October; these are calmer waters and although he has been absent for 432 days he needs a market check in a modest event.

Power Quest
Hint of ability in bumpers but he was a well-beaten 66-1 shot on recent Flat debut (7f, Tapeta); not easily recommended.

Saahir
Signs of ability in two Polytrack novice runs (1m2f and 1m) this autumn but improvement will be needed to come out on top.

Shamacid
Had been consistent on AW but he wasn't at his best when a remote third at Newcastle 17 days ago; steps up to a mile for the first time; others appeal more.

- J Mitchell / C Johnston

6/1 |
Thermal Energy
In need of the experience when down the field in a slowly run 8.6f novice event at Wolverhampton in January; bred to do much better at some point but perhaps over a bit further.

- Machali
- Alistair Rawlinson / W Stone

66/1 |
Machali
Third foal; half-sister to winners Tipsy Tiger (1m 2yo/1m2f; RPR 85) and Little Tiger (1m2f; 66); dam prolific 7f-1m4f winner (including AW; 69), sister to Hong Kong 1m1f Group 3 winner Dinozzo; hooded for debut; likely a longer-term prospect.

Rastnet
Similar form in a pair of 1m novice events at Kempton this autumn, finishing second of seven (beaten 6l) behind a useful rival last month; remains capable of better but others have achieved more.
