Foaled 10 Feb. Dam unraced. Unplaced in both starts. Finished 2l behind Fanrouge when fourth of 10 at 4-1 on her latest outing at Bath over 5f (good) earlier this month.
Richard Hannon's Guava demands the upmost respect on debut but slight preference here is for racecourse experience and MY SOLITAIRE. The Clive Cox representative was a very close-up fourth last time out and that particular maiden appears to be working out quite nicely. The extra furlong should suit the two year-old fill. Of the others, it could be dangerous to rule out Nude who seems to be improving with every run.
Guava is a fascinating newcomer who should be considered, but the experience of My Solitaire could hold sway and she's fancied to get off the mark with the step up to 6f sure to suit. Stellar Express is another open to improvement.
A winner at 5-1 at Kempton over 1m on his latest outing last month, beating Snow Trooper by 4l.

JACK'S REVENGE appears to have wintered very well and has firmly put his disappointing two-year-old form behind him, having been placed on all six starts this term (three wins). He could still be ahead of the handicapper and it would be no surprise to see him continue his good run of form, although Standout looks dangerous and must be respected with the first time blinkers on. Kyllachy Spirit has good each-way claims and Robin Hoods Way shouldn't be overlooked having got off to a flyer on his seasonal reappearance.
A tricky 3-y-o handicap to work out. Robin Hoods Bay could have more to offer switched to turf after his Kempton rout, but John Dunlop could hold the key, with Korngold perhaps worth another chance up in trip ahead of the same stable's similarly unexposed Mujarah. Swaninstockwell is due to go up 5 lb for his good effort at Sandown last week and is another to consider.
Finished 13l behind Rougette when fifth of 10 at 100-1 on her flat debut here over 1m (good to firm) earlier this month.

Rainbow Springs has had plenty of chances to break her maiden tag but she was found wanting again at Newbury last week where she looked one paced. Despite an official rating of 100, she looks one to tread carefully with and a chance is taken on the beautifully bred MINARET. Mahmood Al Zarooni has proved very adept at having his newcomers ready to go first time out and she could prove the value in what looks a match on paper. Queen Of Epirus rates best of the rest.
Rainbow Springs very much sets the standard on her third in the Prix Marcel Boussac as a juvenile but she's had plenty of chances to break her duck and she may be worth taking on again with the superbly-bred newcomer Minaret.
He has won three times from 1m 2f to 2m on good to firm and soft ground, but last win was over two years ago. Beaten 5l behind Daraahem at 9-2fav when seventh of 16 on his latest outing at Chester over 2m 3f (good to firm) in May '09.

Zuider Zee shaped well on debut at Ascot before finishing a creditable third at Epsom at the Derby meeting but, while that form behind Fox Hunt looks solid enough, PLATO appears to be a value bet here. He won a charity race at the Cheltenham Festival before following up with a game effort at Chester in May. Harry Tricker is a proven stayer for Gary Moore and has won on this course, while Trovare looks best of the rest.
Progressive handicapper Zuider Zee has shaped with plenty of promise on both his starts this term and can get off the mark for the year returned to a trip which will be more in his favour. Plato and Trovare are both reliable types who should be there or thereabouts.
She has won three times from 6f to 7f on good to firm ground and on the all-weather. Well beaten at 25-1 behind Bounty Box when last of 11 on her latest outing at Nottingham over 6f (good to firm) last month.

Zing Wing signed off last term with a respectable effort at Kempton, where she won with plenty in hand, while both Russian Rave and Roodle come into this on the back of a win over this distance. Preference, however, is for VALENCHA, a beaten favourite last week over this C&D but she shaped well after being held up early on and was just outstayed. Richard Hughes' mount can go one better with a more prominent ride.
Valencha ran a fine race here last week and is fancied to go one better in this less competitive affair. Leicester winner Russian Rave could prove the biggest danger, though Zing Wing could also be a threat if raring to go on her reappearance.

Bahia Emerald won with plenty in hand at Yarmouth recently and despite carrying a 6lb penalty here, he still looks sure to be in the firing line tonight. Slight preference, however, is for CELTIC SIXPENCE (was engaged to run at Leicester on Thursday) who looked to desperately need her reappearance effort at Nottingham in May. Her form as a two-year-old would suggest she is up to this and she is taken to cause an upset. Da Ponte has each-way claims, along with His Grace.
This is a more competitive event than the one Bahia Emerald won last time but she is progressing quickly and can defy her penalty. Obiter Dicta remains open to improvement, whilst it would be no surprise to see Da Ponte bounce back from a lesser effort last time.
