Lope De Vega colt JONQUIL (1) showed his potential when keeping on nicely to just prevail tackling the trip on Sandown debut despite being badly hampered two from home. Missed the start and never recovered next time in a Doncaster Listed contest. Set to bounce back with a bold bid eased in grade. SHAH (6) is a son of six-time G1 winner Sea The Stars out of Shahah who has finished runner-up in all three runs to date. Poised for another strong performance. Debutant colt KNOCKABAROFF (5) is by Australia out of Malaspina. Boasts a lineage that includes black type winners and is one to watch closely in the market. The Sir Mark Prescott-trained newcomer HOBGOBLIN (4) is half-brother to a couple of useful performers. Makes the shortlist.
