A competitive affair to get the action underway ahead of an excellent day's racing at racing headquarters, and only a tentative vote can go to FIRST LEGION. The son of Mehmas was highly tried after making a winning debut at York and although that didn't go to plan, his sole nursery effort to date is where the interest stems from. Beaten less than two lengths into seventh on the Knavesmire, despite not getting the best of runs, he looks well worth chancing given that he's now 2lb lower. C&D novice winner Treanmor merits respect following a couple of fair efforts out in Dubai, as does stable companion Silent Applause. Sovereign Spell belatedly opened his account at Wolverhampton last month and can show the benefits of that recent spin, and don't rule out Pilu at a big price, because his yard have made a bright start to the new campaign.
A competitive sprint to kick things off and it's the William Haggas-trained ALBAYDAA who appeals most. One of just three fillies in the race, she progressed with each outing as a juvenile and easily put three rivals away in a 7f Wolverhampton maiden when last seen. Related to the same connections' 105-rated sprinter Almeraq, she's making her handicap debut from a mark of just 83 and could prove well drawn in stall 2. Sovereign Spell is a more proven commodity and is coming off an easy maiden win himself. He's proven in good handicaps and rates the danger, although Godolphin pair Treanmor and Silent Applause are very much considered also. It's William Buick's mount Treanmor who is preferred of the pair, having won well on his only previous try at this trip and been gelded since finishing third over 1m at Meydan last time.
120,000gns Ghaiyyath colt; half-brother to Warnie, very smart at 7f as a 2yo; could contend on debut, especially if market speaks well of his chance.
Half-brother to Warnie, won three times at 7f and 1m including a Group 2 race.

The Gosdens boast a strong hand with their duo Portcullis and Santushti. The former, by the mighty Frankel out of French Guineas winner Castle Lady, is perhaps the yard's leading hope but this looks a deep renewal on paper and perhaps Andrew Balding can replicate last year's heroics with NORTH BEACH. The New Bay colt fetched 390,000 euros as a yearling and has a pedigree mixed with speed and stamina. That speed could be crucial in these early-season contests so it would come as no surprise were he to go close. Crown Knott is another key player for his leading connections and spare a thought for Jane Chapple-Hyam's Bemersyde too.
All newcomers in this prestigious maiden and it's Charlie Appleby's CROWN KNOTT who appeals. From a yard rich in 3yo talent, it looks significant he's the representative and his pedigree is a nice blend of speed and stamina. Andrew Balding took this last year and his North Beach warrants serious consideration as a relation of a 1m AW winner. He's just preferred to the Gosden pair Portcullis and Santushti as the danger. Of that pair it's Portcullis who appeals more as a realtion of smart miler Crown Estate. Santushti is bred for 10f and maybe more.

A 222-day absence should be no concern for backers of TIME FOR SANDALS given the way in which trainer Harry Eustace has kicked off the new season. Last year's Commonwealth Cup heroine should be good enough to take this en route to next month's Minster Stakes at York and, if doing so, there is no telling just how far she can go again this year. Jasour travelled powerfully into the lead in the Cammidge last month only to be picked off by the progressive Aramram, who is considered the main threat, but Cornwallis winner Beckford's Folly can't be underestimated either.
This looks wide open with market leader Time For Sandals, who won last season's Commonwealth Cup, perhaps vulnerable on this reappearance. Jasour holds strong claims and can reverse Doncaster form with Aramram back on faster ground, but it's QUINAULT who appeals most. He's a rock-solid 6f sprinter at Group level and has run two of his best ever races in his last three outings, finishing an excellent third in the Champions Sprint last October and then winning Dukhan Sprint Cup at Doha in February. He likes to make the running and could take some passing here. 2024 winner Washington Heights is one to consider as well.
Took step up in class in his stride, hit the line well when winning Flying Scotsman Stakes (Listed) at Doncaster by a nose last time; effective 7f on sound surface; clearly smart but not certain to confirm form with Hankelow.

HAWK MOUNTAIN made only a moderate debut but set the turf alight thereafter, winning twice at the Curragh, including the Group 2 Beresford, before landing the Futurity Trophy at Doncaster. This is unlikely to be his cup final given the entries he currently holds but it will be a handy gauge as to how he's progressed over the winter. The son of Wootton Bassett sets a lofty standard and might not need to be at his very best, but that would be a dangerous assumption given that Hidden Force and Avicenna are unbeaten in their two respective racecourse appearances. Hankelow could have a say too, and so might Oxagon, who probably wasn't seen to best effect on heavy ground behind the selection back in October.
Hawk Mountain sets the standard having won the Group 1 Futurity Trophy on heavy ground last October, but he's surely going to want 10f this season and is reappearing on ground that will be lively enough. Throw in the fact Aidan O'Brien, remarkably, has never won this race and he's worth opposing. Hankelow was nailed on the line by Avicenna in a 7f Listed event at Doncaster last September before improving for the step up to 1m when landing the Group 3 Autumn Stakes over this C&D in October. He's a fine, big sort open to further progress this season, but it's Charlie Appleby's HIDDEN FORCE who earns the vote on this occasion, in large to the fact he's got two runs under his belt on the AW, winning both in good style. He's got a similar profile to Notable Speech, who won the 2024 2,000 Guineas, and Opera Ballo, who was fancied for this race last season but pulled too hard, and the son of Frankel can take this en route to a crack at next month's first Classic.

Having finished runner-up on all three outings, Baandee sets a fair standard for the others to aim at. Jack Morland's filly should be in the mix, but she may have to play second fiddle once more, with POINTE BLEU fancied to make a winning debut. The Blue Point filly is a half-sister to the decent Yaanaas and she will take all the beating if sharing similar ability. The returning Hassaleh is a feasible alternative.
Baandee sets the standard, having finished runner-up on all three starts over 7f at Chelmsford, but she needs more now switching to turf at a Group 1 track. She's opposed with Charlie Appleby's HASSALEH, who shaped with clear promise on her sole outing over 6f at Windsor last term and is bred to do much better now upped to 7f with a winter behind her. Pointe Bleu is a newcomer of significance, being related to two useful winners, including one at 1m. She's from a top yard and the market will let on what's expected.
Promising debut when 1/2l winner in a maiden at the Curragh on debut; returning from long layoff; effective at 7f on good; beat a subsequent Group 3 scorer on debut and longer trip could suit.
Won on his latest outing when 10-11fav at Curragh over 7f (good) in June last year, beating Dorset by 1/2l.

With four returning debut winners open to improvement, MAHO BAY edges the vote in what should prove a decent contest. Charlie Appleby's colt justified favouritism in some style at Kempton in December and there should be more to come. Irish raider Amadeus Mozart scored a shade cosily at the Curragh last June and merits the utmost of respect for top connections, while Guildmaster was impressive when scoring at Lingfield in December.
A fascinating novice event with four of the runners being once-raced winners. Amadeus Mozart beat a subsequent Group 3 scorer on last summer's Curragh debut but he's been absent 316 days and is passed over in favour of Godolphin pair Guildmaster and MAHO BAY. Picking between the pair isn't easy but given Charlie Appleby has won the race five times since 2018, it makes a lot of sense to go with his Maho Bay, who was most impressive on his belated debut at Kempton in December. Guildmaster looked a smart sort when winning with ease over 1m at Lingfield on his debut in December and should improve upped in trip. He's the danger.
Never involved beaten 7l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 6f, probably better 7f, needs sound surface; consistent handicapper.

Having gone agonisingly close on his stable bow at Musselburgh recently, Gangsta Man is high on the shortlist. The 5f distance that day looked to be on the sharp side for the son of Dandy Man and he's unlikely to be far away, but ROYAL VELVET is a touch more compelling. The five-year-old is another who will appreciate a return to this trip and she may take some stopping if reproducing her York triumph in August last year. Morte Point, Goldmoyne and Huscal are other leading contenders.
A big field and plenty to consider, with GOD OF WAR making a fair bit of appeal back on turf. A soft-ground winner over this trip at Sandown last August, he's returned with two sound efforts on the AW and is now just 1lb higher than when scoring at Sandown. The returns to a more truly run race on turf should suit him ideally and he's favoured over Storm Free. That one signed off last season with a good win at Leicester and returns off a decent mark still with his stable going well. The consistent Huscal is worthy of consideration also and comes in as third choice.
