Dion Baker (2/1), Swinton (5/2), How Impressive (10/3), The Ganges (15/2), Beattie Is Back (16/1), Crazy Maisie (16/1), Ba Na Hills (22/1), Come On John (40/1), Boasted (66/1)

HOW IMPRESSIVE makes appeal on paper for a yard well capable of readying a newcomer, so he's fancied to get his career off to the perfect start. Swinton caught the eye on his debut in November and can improve, while Ba Na HIlls and Come On John are other debutants to keep an eye on.
