9/2

Makfi colt. Dam was a twice-raced, half-sister to very smart two-year-old 7f winner Mirage Dancer (stamina no issue). Represents top yard and no surprise to see him going well first time out.

20/1

Tamkeen

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Dane O'Neill| T: Owen Burrows

4/1

Form:

(1)

Timoshenko

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott

Archipenko gelding makes debut for respected yard, breeding suggests a longer trip will see him to best effect in time.

Forecasts

Imperial Past (5/2), Tamkeen (4/1), Prime Minister (9/2), Herdwick (9/2), Jawan (6/1), Mr Gent (16/1), Taghee (20/1), Timoshenko (25/1), Equo (28/1), Archibald Leitch (33/1), Arigato (66/1), Saint Anthony (66/1)

With all bar one of the dozen being debutants, this is no easy beginning and punters will be wise to pay close scrutiny to the market. Tamkeen, Imperial Past and Jawan are all to be noted but two to concentrate on might be Herdwick, a colt out of Makfi for Sir Michael Stoute with plenty appeal on paper and TAGHEE, a nicely bred sort with South American Group 1-winning form in his pedigree who debuts for a trainer with a 21% strike rate at this track in 2017 and has the benefit of a plumb draw to give him every chance.
