Alex Scott Maiden Stakes (Colts & Geldings)

Finished fourth of eight, best of the newcomers, in 7f AW maiden at Southwell four months ago; runner-up has franked the form by scoring twice since; open to progress.

300,000gns yearling; by Siyouni out of 7f/1m winner (including French 1,000 Guineas; RPR 107); one of three debutants in the field; the betting should be instructive.

Wootton Bassett half-brother to 1m3f Flat (RPR 75) and 2m hurdle winner Secret Force, out of 7f/1m scorer (including Listed; 107); powerful stable; interesting newcomer.

Front-running third of seven in autumn maiden (6.5f, soft) that wasn't particularly deep by usual Newbury standards; however, may still show improvement this year.

Brings the worst form, having finished only fourth of five at Newcastle (AW) where he was admittedly the sole newcomer in the field and perhaps found 6f on the sharp side.
