1/1
Failed to live up to market expectations on his debut run but put that all behind him when winning over 6f at Brighton last time beating a well fancied one. Has scope for further progress and could well carry a penalty here and put his experience to good use.

Half-brother to several winners but beat just one home on his debut at Leicester over 6f and the cheekpieces are now added to see if they can bring about any improvement.

4/1
Cost €30,000 as a yearling and out of a dam who was a juvenile winner over 7f plus and is well related. Yard ticking over quite nicely with their two-year-olds this season and one to be interested in on debut.

16/1
Half-brother to a couple of winners out of a dam who placed in Listed company as a juvenile over 6f. Already had one racecourse experience although that ended in him being unruly and withdrawn at the start last month at Pontefract.

Up Sticks And Go

4/1
Looks nicely bred and is a half-brother to five winners and with the stable capable of winning with a debutante juvenile he should be watched in the betting.

French Flyer

7/1
Cost just €7,000 as a yearling but has a decent pedigree with winners amongst his relations although most of them needed further and he may just be one for the longer term and find a few of these a little too sharp.

Forecasts

Royal Liberty (1/1), Up Sticks And Go (4/1), Onesarnieshort (4/1), French Flyer (7/1), Mountain Approach (8/1), Squirrelheed (16/1), Billy Booth (20/1)

Verdict

There’s no doubt that Royal Liberty stepped up considerably on his debut when winning at Brighton showing a good attitude to beat a well-backed favourite and looks capable of further progress but he does have to give weight away all round here. Mountain Approach should come on for his debut run and will be a danger if he settles better this time but there look to be a couple of (on pedigree) useful debutantes here in Up Sticks And Go and ONESARNIESHORT and it’s the latter that gets the vote to make a winning debut.
