Returns to the scene of his victory when he made all over this trip on his penultimate start and he should be suited by a return to 6f after trying 7f last time. This looks an easier task than he had last time out and York and he's worthy of respect.
Showed improved form to get off the mark when making his handicap debut at Catterick last time over 6f. More needed here despite the favourable draw with the visor needing to work again.
Ran only to a fair level last time out in an AW nursery but would have more chance if reproducing his second at Carlisle in August. May do better here with a little improvement left in him back in a minor event.
Has a pedigree that is certainly of interest here being a half-brother to a pair of sprint winners with the dam also a juvenile winner. Yard are in good form at the moment although the wide draw makes life tough on debut for this one.
Best of the newcomers on his debut when finishing fifth at Redcar recently on his debut over 7f. Looks open to more improvement and given some more progress has a decent chance in an open event.
Her nursery form when taking the runner-up spot at Nottingham in August would give her a real chance here. However, she needs to overcome a poor effort last time plus her draw is far from ideal.
Made an encouraging start to her career despite finishing just 8th on debut at Haydock (only beaten 4L). Should be better to come although it is slightly worrying that she had to be withdrawn on her last intended start at Beverley; still a bit to prove.
From a yard that has already clocked up plenty of juvenile winners this year so any market support would be worth noting on debut. Half-sister to three winners with the dam a juvenile winner and makes some appeal on that score.
Finished way off the pace on her debut at Haydock over 6f and fared no better last time out at York over slightly shorter and looks outclassed in this.
Given a decent break after failing to show much in two 5f minor events at Beverley in the summer. Yard hardly noted for their juvenile winners and can only be watched here.
Debutante who has an awkward draw coupled with a modest juvenile strike-rate for the yard this year. Withdrawn on her intended debut last month when misbehaving at the start.
Forecasts
Dawn Breaking (7/2), Sioux Frontier (4/1), Fortunate Vision (5/1), Brigand (7/1), Scenic River (7/1), Geesala Brave (9/1), Rizzle Dizzle (10/1), Ce De Nullis (12/1), Aislin Moon (25/1), Lady Sophiebella (25/1), Voguela (100/1)
Quite an open event with several having a chance but DAWN BREAKING might just be a little better than his effort at York last time and will appreciate a return to scene of his C&D win. The newcomers Brigand and Rizzle Dizzle make some appeal although both have difficult post positions on their debut although neither would have to be anything special to make a mark in this from their powerful stables. Fortunate Vision needs to show more than when winning a nursery last time out while Sioux Frontier would be a factor granted anything like normal improvement. Ce De Nullis has a difficult draw to overcome with Scenic River another to throw into the mix.
