Trainer has a poor record with his first-time out juveniles and this one only cost £2,000 as a yearling. Probably best watched on his debut.

Yard have made a very good start to the season with the season with their juveniles and they are always to be respected. This one cost £70,000 as a yearling and he showed plenty of promise in a better event than this on his debut at Newmarket.

Certainly built on her debut run when finishing second last time out at Ripon making the running and only headed late on. Looks capable of further improvement and apart from the Fahey runner doesn't look to have much to beat here.

40/1
Debut run on the AW was poor when she was last of ten at Wolverhampton and she did make a small step forward last time out when finishing fifth at Beverley. More needed to trouble the principals here and a place probably the best she can hope for.

A £8,500 yearling by Swiss Spirit whose dam was a half-sister to smart US Grade 2 1m winner Up In Time. Yard have been known to have first time out winners in this sphere but she faces a couple of useful rivals here.

Forecasts

Shobrom (4/6), Faithful Promise (2/1), Shanghai Elastic (11/1), Primo's Comet (33/1), Hypnotic Dancer (40/1), Holmfirst (50/1)

Verdict

Two if the six should dominate this with slight preference for the Fahey runner SHOBROM who looks to have plenty of improvement in him from his debut Newmarket outing in a race that has already produced two next time out winners. Faithful Promise looks sure to give him plenty to think about having been just touched off last time out. The others with experience don’t look any great shakes and it could well be newcomer Shanghai Elastic that chases the big two home.
