6th	6	5	Dakota Breeze (G) Second of 8 in novice at Newcastle (11/4) 16 days ago, held back by inexperience and awkward leaving stalls but stayed on to take second final 50 yards. Steps up in trip and should improve.	2640	Hollie Doyle A Watson	3	55.8kg	5 4/1

3rd	9	7	Charles Darnay (G) FAV Once raced gelding who was fifth of 7 in novice at Lingfield (66/1) 21 days ago, slowly into stride but stayed on when pushed along over 2f out. Bred for longer trips and this step up to 1m should su…	5311	P Cosgrave James Owen	3	54kg	2.75 7/4
11th	10	1	Cobalt Comet (G) H £2,500 yearling. Massaat gelding. Profile suggests this will be a learning experience.	663351	Cam Hardie J Mackie	3	54kg	126 125/1
