Game 88-rated handicapper for trainer-Michael Bell whose only career win came in a Wolverhampton maiden on the AW in 2016. Market likely to be the best guide on debut for new connections.
Slowly in to stride on both career Flat starts to date including when finishing fourth of six behind Saturday's Irish Derby winner Latrobe in a Curragh maiden last month. Each way claims but needs to start better.
First time cheekpieces - retained here - failed to bring about the necessary improvement needed to play a role when finishing down the field once again on his most recent appearance in May. Looks opposable.
Well held when finishing down the field in two career starts for Aiden O'Brien when last seen in 2016. Hard to place any faith in on debut for new connections.

Batts Rock (4/7), Jack The Wire (7/2), Percy (4/1), Santa Anita (20/1), Quare Handy (50/1), Five Gems (66/1)
The closing race of the evening should bring a straight-match between the Gordon Elliott-trained pair BAT'S ROCK and the four-year-old Percy with preference for the former given he was once rated 91 when in the care of trainer Michael Bell during the 2017 campaign and could be too strong for this field where the race won't take a great deal of winning.
