Of the remainder, David Menuisier's Metaverse has been in the money the last twice, while Noble Victory is lightly raced and looks likely to have more to offer for James Tate and Rossa Ryan.

Archie Watson's Evenpoel will be popular to follow up his recent Chelmsford success in a trappy renewal of this Always Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Restricted Novice Stakes.
Rated 74 after just the two starts, he powered home late to score at the Essex venue and the step up to seven furlongs should be to his liking. Allegrino reposes on these better terms and has three quarters of a length to find.
Harry Eustace saddles High Chieftain, who stepped forward from his debut to finish a solid second in a maiden at Wolverhampton last month. He ought to be competitive in this similar heat.
Foothold was only collared late on when attempting to make most over a mile here last time and he must be respected with the drop in distance a plus.

Henriette Ronner has shown ability in all four starts to date but had no extra late on at Newcastle the last twice and the dip to six furlongs might be in his favour.
Inclusive is yet to win in five runs but is another who hinted at promise on her last start. Sat at the rear, she caught the eye with the way she finished and given that was her first start for a while, she could be fitter for that outing.
Mister Moet is worth a mention after his runner-up effort at Wolverhampton, while Far Too Fizzy cannot be ruled out if able to dictate proceedings under Rossa Ryan.
Best of the rest
Richard Kingscote, David Probert and record-breaking rider Zac Purton are all in action from Sha Tin from 10.45, with all races live on Sky Sports Racing.
