James P Sullivan
Mrs R Carr
A winner at 20-1 at Redcar over 1m (good to firm) on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Nameitwhatyoulike by 1/2l.
Deepsand's best form last term came over 6f so his stamina for this longer trip has to be taken on trust. Preference is for MIZBAH, who was crying out for a stiffer test when campaigned around 1m last year and is Godolphin's sole representative on the card. Gabrial's Star looked green when opening his account on debut at Hamilton last season and undoubtedly has more to offer. Handicap debutant Sir Trevor looks best of the rest but wouldn't want to be taken on up front by fellow front-runner Captivity.
