Acclamation colt. Yard can ready one but has more of a turf pedigree and not sure to take to this surface.

Ungenuine type. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. 10/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 8 in maiden at this course (8f) 7 days ago. Back down in trip. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Discovery Island (7/4), Bawadi Spirit (15/8), Line Of Sunshine (7/1), Zahau (11/1), Knockshrine (11/1), Laa Baas (14/1), Sheriffmuir (14/1), Benin (16/1)

Verdict

DISCOVERY ISLAND is taken to strike on dirt debut despite having a lay-off to overcome. Bawadi Spirit should be the toughest opponent, while Zahau has place prospects as well.

  1. DISCOVERY ISLAND
  2. BAWADI SPIRIT
  3. ZAHAU (USA)
