Made an impressive debut for the race sponsors at Lingfield recently over 6f winning by 7L although the time of the race doesn't necessarily back-up the visual aspect of the performance. Yard have probably punched a little above their weight in two-year-old contests this year and interesting to see what he can do under a penalty.
Yard are 1/4 with their debutantes juveniles this year and that is their only two-year-old winner of the season so far. Cost £11,000 as a yearling and is a half-brother to mile winner Helovaplan. Drawn towards the outside and may just need this on his debut.
One of two runners in this race for the yard and looks to be the stronger based on the riding arrangements. Showed a little bit of ability on his debut but still looked inexperienced and ought to know more this time around for a yard that are 4/18 with their juveniles this year.
Makes his debut for a yard that have unsurprisingly already had 23 juvenile winners this year with 12 of them coming on debut. Has a fair bit of speed in his pedigree and given his connections it will be no surprise to see him figure prominently on his debut.
Looks to be the second string from this yard that are 1/11 with their juvenile debutantes this year. Has a fair few winners in his pedigree including half-brothers Geological and Chipping who both won as two-year-olds and interesting to see what the market makes of him.
One of a brace of debutantes in this for the yard that are 3/36 with their two-year-olds this year with two of those coming on debut. Price increased by €9,000 from foal to yearling and half-brother to the useful Bing Bang Bong who won over 6f as a juvenile.
Stable look a little better with their juveniles of late and this one is the most experienced in this field having already had three runs. Best run certainly came last time out at Wolverhampton on the AW (also ran well on AW on debut) and although he might run into some improvers here he would be of interest once the nursery season starts.
The second of two making their debut from this yard costing £20,000 as a yearling. Has plenty of speed in his pedigree being closely related to 6f winner Moonshine Dancer and a half-brother to 5f winner Hurricane Alert. Will be interesting to see how the market treats him in relation to his stable mate.
Just the second two-year-old runner of the season for this yard that have only had 12 juvenile runners (one winner) in the past five years. This one was well held on his debut and would need to improve greatly to figure here.
0/34 the record for the yard with juveniles this year so far and this one would only have an outside chance of breaking their duck. Has shown only poor form in two minor events so far although did show some speed on his latest start and may be one for low-grade nurseries.
Stable are capable of having juvenile winners (two so far this year)and this Havana Gold filly showed some promise on her debut over 6f at Leicester. That form hasn't really been tested yet but she makes some appeal on pedigree and it would be no surprise to see her step forward here.

Ghost Serge (5/6), Our Man In Havana (7/1), Arcavallo (8/1), Alfa McGuire (9/1), Cameo Star (9/1), Blue Havana (10/1), Han Solo Berger (25/1), Fink Hill (25/1), Ventura Crest (40/1), Grimeford Lane (40/1), Ray Purchase (50/1), Rickyroadboy (150/1)
Without a doubt the standard is set here by Ghost Serge but although there was something visually impressive about his debut at Lingfield the time left a little to be desired and there are some question marks over the overall form. Fink Hill is expected to improve for his initial run and it’s not hard to see Our Man In Havana making some further progress along with the only filly in the field Blue Havana. There are some interesting newcomers in this though with both Arcavallo and Grimeford Lane from the Dods yard worth a market check but a chance is taken that CAMEO STAR can provide the Fahey team with another juvenile winner getting weight from Ghost Serge.
