I'LL BE BACK (4) returns from a five-month break. Provided a ready 1L debut success at Doncaster ahead of two subsequent winners. Looks the one to beat. COURT ALERT (5) impressed on third outing when runner-up in a Class 2 Auction Stakes contest at Newmarket. Disappointed next time raised in trip at the same venue. Holds claims if there is a market lead. Kingman colt KING'S CAVALRY (9) finished midfield providing Newmarket racecourse debut. Missed the frame by 1L that day and is one for the shortlist. BEAGLE BAY (1) opened his account gaining a ready 2.5L triumph under Hector Crouch on Chelmsford reappearance last month. Key player.

Second-up. Promising on debut 2nd of 12 at Newbury 3yo Mdn Sw on April 12 over 1600m, head behind Point Of Contact carrying 60.5kg at $26. Went for a break before returning favourite; won by 2.5 len at Chelmsford March 7 over 1400m defeating Different Opinions with 64.5kg at $1.50. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Still has scope for improvement and is among the better hopes.

Jumped at big odds at debut, ran last of 8 at Pontefract on April 7 over 1600m, 33 len behind Haayimm with 64.5kg at $34. Doubt he will trouble these.

Resuming after a six-and-a-half months break. Not seen since he finished last of 26 at Newmarket (Rowley) October 4 over 1400m, 51 len behind Jel Pepper carrying 56.5kg at $26. On debut second last in a small field at Newbury July 19 over 1200m, 6 len behind Egoli with 58kg at $9. Improvement to come and looks hard to beat.

Racing first-up today. Not seen since he finished last of 8 at Newbury October 24 over 1300m, soft track; 17 len behind Needle Match with 60.5kg at $7.50. On debut sixth of 8 at Salisbury October 2 over 1400m, 8 len behind Illy's Roo with 60.5kg at $2.50. Sure to have improved over the break so he can feature.
