Improved on Yarmouth debut when finishing a good third in a 17 runner Nottingham maiden over an extended 1m on good ground last November. He is a half-brother to classy 1m2f performer Chinese White and the yard are in good form at present (8/28).

Unraced son of Harbour Watch and purchased for €120,000 as a yearling in 2015. Unraced for previous stable and interesting to see how he fares today.

Unraced son of Exchange Rate. Cost 45,000 gns as a yearling and a half-brother to classy sprinter Due Diligence and useful juvenile Ocasta amongst others. Wears a hood for his debut in this.
Unraced son of Medicean. Bought for 48,000 gns as a two-year-old in April last year. Half-brother to a few winners and worth a check in the market ahead of this debut.
Unraced son of Siyouni. Purchased for €150,000 as a two-year-old last May. Dam a winner over 1m2f on debut at three and represents leading connections with a hood worn today.

Well beaten when making his debut over 7f at Newmarket (good-to-firm) in September last year. Probably best watched on his seasonal debut.

Bought for 130,000 gns as a yearling and ran well when finishing 2ÂĽL fourth of nine in a 1m maiden at Newbury (good-to-firm) last month. Interesting to see if he can build on that today.

Unraced gelded son of Paco Boy. Cost connections 17,000 gns as a yearling in October 2015. Half-brother to a couple of winners over 6f and 7f and worth a check in the market ahead of his debut.

Beaten 7ÂľL into fifth in an eight runner contest on the AW contest over 7f at Kempton last September. Has been gelded since but likely to fair better in handicap company.

Promising debut when finishing 4L fifth over 7f at Newmarket (good-to-soft) last October. Stepped up to 1m when disappointing on the AW at Kempton the following month and a watching brief is probably best today.

Virtually left in the stalls when making her debut over 1m here last week. Will need to be sharper from the stalls to have any chance in this.

Forecasts

Daira Prince (7/4), Noble Conquest (3/1), Rumpole (10/3), Near Kettering (14/1), Footman (16/1), Wootyhoot (16/1), Harbour Force (25/1), Babamunchkin (33/1), Shyarch (33/1), Red Emperor (50/1), Donna Finchella (66/1), Tidal Watch (66/1), Upended (100/1), Lifeboat Lad (100/1)

Verdict

DAIRA PRINCE represents the in-form yard of Roger Varian on this third outing in maiden company. The selection finished third at Nottingham in November and can go two better here for a stable who have a 29% strike-rate in recent times. Rumpole ran well when finishing fourth having been sent off a big price for his debut at Newbury last month and he can claim second ahead of the expensively purchased debutant Noble Conquest who represents a leading stable here while Footman who finished runner-up on his second outing last year is another worth noting in this.
  1. Daira Prince
  2. Rumpole
  3. Noble Conquest
