One previous outing in a point-to-point brought a fall in 2014 but this €35,000, 3YO Shantou gelding merits respect coming here given connections.
Beneficial gelding makes racecourse bow this afternoon and may want a further test of stamina in time.
This £92,000 Cape Cross gelding made a winning debut in point-to-point in December and merits plenty respect for first run under rules for leading trainer and excellent jockey.
Milan gelding is certainly worth a look in the market for his connections on debut.
Flat-bred mare, faces a stiff task on first racecourse outing giving the potential amongst the opposition.
Forecasts
Fulham Road (9/10), Empire Burleque (11/8), Officer Milan (8/1), Who Said That (25/1), Difficult Detour (33/1)
Fulham Road is much respected for the champion trainer but enthusiasm has got to be tempered by his long absence following a fall on debut in a point-to-point in 2014. By contrast, EMPIRE BURLEQUE made a pleasing start in that sphere in December to score and can do something similar now in first appearance on the racecourse proper. Officer Milan may be the best of the rest.
1. Empire Burleque
2. Fulham Road
3. Officer Milan
