Verdict: LANNISTER has an obvious shout. He runs for a trainer with a good record with newcomers. Modus Bestia, Brother Brother and Vasa should also be considered.

Legal Heir

Jockey: Kazushi Kimura Trainer: R Mandella Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 5

Comment: Not far behind Vasa in May when fifth at Santa Anita over this trip; related to Stakes winner Monday Morning Qb; should not be far away as shown signs of ability in his exercise and he knows more about the job in hand.

Lannister

Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: Bob Baffert Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: Sire can produce useful types; course debutants for this yard should be taken seriously; has strong claims with signs of encouragement in profile and jockey does well from inner gates here.

Infinite Spirit

Jockey: Francisco Ramirez Trainer: James Glenn Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: Related to multiple race winner Gov From Above (4½f-1m); looks the part on breeding (by Danzing Candy); a watching brief the best policy.

Vasa

Jockey: Abel Lezcano Trainer: M Glatt Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 4

Comment: Not beaten too far (8l) on his debut over this distance at Santa Anita at 16-1 in May; hard to ignore as shown signs of ability in his exercise and he could be more streetwise here.

Modus Bestia

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: R Baltas Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 2669

Comment: No impression when ninth of ten at Churchill Downs in May in a maiden special weight; nicely bred (by Maclean's Music); has to be respected as shown he can be competitive fairly recently.

Brother Brother

Jockey: Antonio Fresu Trainer: Doug O'Neill Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: Doug O'neill debutants always command respect here; related to Broadcaster, winning form over 7f-1m½f; cannot be ignored.

Tap And Go

Jockey: Diego Herrera Trainer: Isidro Tamayo Age/Wt: 5/8-12

Comment: Trainer capable of preparing a newcomer to win; hard to fancy unless market points the other way.

Ballyhooligan

Jockey: David Cohen Trainer: M Glatt Age/Wt: 3/8-8

Comment: Mark Glatt team does well at Del Mar with debutants; related to I'mherefortheparty, winning form over 6f-1m½f; should be on the premises as some good aspects to his profile.

Cornhuskerchris

Jockey: Adrian Escobedo Trainer: Ryan Hanson Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 4-46456

Comment: Bobbled at the start two months ago when beaten 7l (sixth of eight, Santa Anita) in a maiden special weight; still searching for first win after seven tries; others more appealing.

Comment: Has won here previously; string of consistent efforts of late; respectable fifth in May upped to 1m2f at Santa Anita in a Grade 2; a leading player if replicating the best of his form and down in class to claiming company.

Sarwar

Jockey: Diego Herrera Trainer: Leonard Powell Age/Wt: 6/8-9 F: 42424

Comment: Not disgraced when fourth in an allowance optional claimer 40 days ago (Santa Anita) - split Genius Jimmy and Mondego; has been consistent of late and course specialist (three wins from four); unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as this could be a hot race.

Mondego

Jockey: Umberto Rispoli Trainer: Michael McCarthy Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 646-5

Comment: Not beaten too far when fifth at Santa Anita on his debut for this trainer last month in an allowance optional claimer; poses a threat as jockey does well from inner gates here and he has posted some fair efforts in defeat in the past.

Genius Jimmy

Jockey: Kazushi Kimura Trainer: Michael McCarthy Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 0-2512

Comment: Achieved each of his three career wins at Santa Anita but wins-runs record of 3-11; had two of these rivals behind him at Santa Anita six weeks ago when involved in the finish in an allowance optional claimer; showed promise in workout a week ago and could figure.

Dandy Man Shines

Jockey: Hector Berrios Trainer: Jeff Mullins Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 274-23

Comment: Produced a good effort to finish third in an allowance optional claimer at Santa Anita in April; better than this level in his pomp and producing consistent form; one to consider as latest run was an encouraging one and the longer distance is likely to help.

Irish Prophet

Jockey: Mirco Demuro Trainer: Neil Drysdale Age/Wt: 6/8-9 F: 5-37536

Comment: Behind several of these posting a respectable display to finish sixth in April at Santa Anita in an allowance optional claimer; shown all winning form at Santa Anita (two successes); been struggling to get his head in front recently so may be vulnerable.

Comment: Not disgraced in fifth over 1m at Santa Anita (allowance optional claimer) in May; brings winning C&D form to the table; jockey booking is a positive; has hinted at some aptitude in the past; he should go close.

Elwood Blues

Jockey: Abel Lezcano Trainer: M Glatt Age/Wt: 5/8-9 F: 3-2443

Comment: Finished third two months ago albeit only beaten just under 3l at Santa Anita in an allowance optional claimer; far from exposed and wins-runs record of 3-10; others appeal more as this sort of tag has hampered his win prospects of late.

Imnotvanillasky

Jockey: Kazushi Kimura Trainer: M Glatt Age/Wt: 2/8-10

Kiss Me Coco

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: Brian Koriner Age/Wt: 2/8-10

Kale's Angel

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: Peter Miller Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 31138

Comment: Finished eighth, beaten a fair way (Churchill Downs) last month in a stakes; proved competitive when hitting the board in a stakes in May; could go close as rude health of yard is a big plus and he finished third two runs ago.

Toes

Comment: Beaten narrowly at the first time of asking in September over C&D; related to Grade 2 winner Miss Dracarys and looks the part on breeding (by City Of Light); back from an absence here; competitive shout if confirming promise shown first time up and her pedigree offers room to progress.
