10/1

8/1, green when only eighth of 9 in 7f novice at Newmarket (heavy) on debut 19 days ago. Daughter of Frankel should have more to offer so not written off for leading yard.

11/2

10/3, promising debut second of 8 in 7f AW Lingfield novice 21 days ago. Has more to offer so sure to be in the mix.

Forecasts

Shielded (11/4), Maraakiz (10/3), Impeach (7/2), Vanitas (11/2), Parish Academy (15/2), Lochnaver (10/1), Natural Value (33/1), Bookmark (50/1), Lochanthem (66/1), Pocketeer (80/1)

Some interesting newcomers on show and the market will prove highly informative but VANITAS ran to a fair level when second on her Lingfield debut so David O'Meara's daughter of Dutch Art gets the nod. Impeach also made an encouraging start when fifth at Kempton and is sure to make his presence felt, while unraced trio Maraakiz, Shielded and Lochanthem all warrant respect in an intriguing novice.
