12/1
Unraced son of Dabirism purchased for €47,000 as a yearling in October 2016. Dam was a winner on turf over 7f and he is an interesting runner in this contest.

Held on both outings to date most recently over this trip at Kempton in November. Likely to be of more interest once tackling handicap company.

Unraced gelding by Dark Angel bought for €300,000 as a foal in November 2015. Dam won and placed in sprints as a juvenile and represents leading connections on debut.

Unraced home-bred son of Captain Gerrard out of a mare who won four times in sprints on the AW. Probably best watched on racecourse debut.

Unraced gelded son of Sulamani. Dam won over 6f as a juvenile and later over hurdles. Likely to prove better suited to further in time.

Left turf debut running well behind when finishing 3L fourth over 6f here in November. Interesting to see if he can repeat that effort on this occasion.

Finished a well beaten ninth of 11 when making her debut over 1m here last month. Others make more appeal today.

Unraced filly by Kyllachy cost £22,000 at the breeze-up sales last April. Half-sister to three time winner Case Key amongst others but probably best watched on debut.

66/1
Well held when making her debut over 7f at Southwell last month and likely to prove of more interest once tackling handicaps.

Forecasts

First Contact (5/6), Completion (5/2), Daltrey (5/1), Assimile (12/1), Naval Officer (14/1), Meerpat (33/1), Harry Crumb (33/1), Team Showme (66/1), Lady Grigio (66/1), Gorgeous General (66/1)

Verdict

FIRST CONTACT represents a leading yard here and he can make a winning debut in this 7f maiden contest. The selection was an expensive purchase as a foal and is taken to get the better of his fellow debutant Completion who hails from a stable in good form at present while Assimile can claim third on his first visit to the racecourse.
