Verdict: TRUMP ERA is the pick of these. He made an encouraging debut and the benefit of experience may give him an edge over the newcomers.

Mr. Pippins

Jockey: Armando Aguilar Trainer: Steven Miyadi Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 4

Comment: Not disgraced on his debut when some way behind the runner-up, Trump Era, over C&D at 18-1 three weeks ago; will need to step up from his racecourse introduction.

Pavlovian

Jockey: Umberto Rispoli Trainer: Doug O'Neill Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Newcomers from this yard regularly hit the target; looks the part on breeding (by Pavel); related to 5½f winner O Mandy; no surprise to see him go well.

Trump Era

Jockey: Adrian Escobedo Trainer: Ryan Hanson Age/Wt: 2/8-7 F: 2

Comment: Close second on his debut over C&D in front of Mr. Pippins at 9-5 21 days ago; warrants plenty of respect if confirming promise shown first time up and his jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Smokem And Love

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: Edwin Alvarez Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sire's progeny have a good record in sprints; trainer not best known for debutant winners; the advice is to watch the betting.

Mesa Verde

Jockey: Kyle Frey Trainer: Adan Farias Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: From the same family as Mcqueen, a winner over 1m½f; bred to improve with age; looks the part on breeding (by Stay Thirsty); passed over unless attracting strong support.

Southern Melodee

Jockey: Edwin Maldonado Trainer: Craig Dollase Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Sire suggests he might be a speedy type; stable not synonymous with debutant winners; sibling of Munny Penny (4½f winner); market may guide on this one.

Chase N Ryan

Jockey: Assael Espinoza Trainer: S Knapp Age/Wt: 2/8-7

Comment: Steve Knapp debutants always command respect here; could be interesting as some good aspects to his profile and the current stable form is another tick.

Mucho Del Oro

Jockey: Antonio Fresu Trainer: Doug O'Neill Age/Wt: 7/9-0 F: 41-666

Comment: Split a number of these rivals here over 6½f (allowance optional claimer) when beaten 8l last month; C&D has proven suitable before; better than this level in his prime; likely to be a threat granted a bit more luck as didn't get the rub of the green last time and is proven at a decent level.

Notime For Squalls

Jockey: Antonio Fresu Trainer: M Glatt Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 816-24

Comment: Comfortably beaten finishing fourth splitting Word Play, MS Brightside and Happyasaclam last month in an optional claimer; her best form stacks up so likely to be involved.

Cyprus Moon

Jockey: Mike Smith Trainer: George Papaprodromou Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 2-6613

Comment: Has taken a step forward the last twice; not beaten too far (just over 2l) last month in an optional claimer; her best form stacks up so no surprise to see her go well.

Tiaraqueen

Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: P Gallagher Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 76-97

Comment: Last of seven last month upped to 1m2f in an allowance optional claimer; largely disappointing since successful in a novice stakes at Wetherby last June; this looks a decent race so is passed over.
