Stepped up on previous efforts when winning over 1m at Lingfield last time out. This looks likely to prove a tougher contest and it will be interesting to see how he fares.

Started a big price prior to finishing last of 16 over 7f at Newbury (good) last month. Wears cheekpieces for the first time today.

Unraced gelded son of Makfi and a half-brother to a couple of useful performers in Countermeasure and Obedient. One for the shortlist on his racecourse debut.

Unraced son of Casamento and a half-brother to a couple of winners including AW winner Moon Quest. Worth a check in the market on debut.

Finished 14L behind Connaught Ranger when debuting over 1m at Lingfield last month. Needs to step up markedly on that if he's to reverse form with that rival today.

Signs of ability in three runs in France so far including over an extended 7f on the AW at Deauville last time out. Market support would be interesting today.

Beat just one rival home in a five runner contest at Newmarket (6f, soft) on debut in August. Interesting to see how he fares stepping up to 1m today.

Had issues loading into the stalls and then tried to make all prior to finishing mid-division on debut over 1m at Lingfield last month. Application of a hood should help and one to note today.

Forecasts

Tullyallen (2/1), Blue Mist (9/4), Connaught Ranger (3/1), Communique (5/1), Adjutant (10/1), Pepper Street (12/1), Demurrer (20/1), Billy Ray (25/1), Losingmyreligion (25/1), Say About It (50/1), Arlecchino's Arc (100/1)

Verdict

The well-bred BLUE MIST can register a victory at the first time of asking on his debut for trainer Roger Charlton. The unraced colt is a half-brother to the useful Countermeasure and can take this at the chief expense of Communique who is another well-related individual making his racecourse debut. The penalised Connaught Ranger can fare best of those with racecourse experience by claiming third.
