750,000Y. Kingman half-brother to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 9f Bay of Poets and 11.4f winner Candy Kitchen (both by Lope de Vega): dam German 11f winner from a very good family. Catches eye on paper and yard bidding for a hat-trick in this contest. Interesting.

Forecasts

The Parent (6/4), Bold Act (5/2), Highbank (4/1), Dartman (11/1), Conquistador (12/1), Indian Renegade (16/1), Baileys Showtime (66/1), Frank Ross Is Out (80/1)

The market should prove highly informative but Charlie Appleby has taken the past two runnings of this maiden and his New Approach colt BOLD ACT is taken to edge out stablemate and fellow newcomer Highbank. Conquistador is another debutant who needs considering along with The Parent who appeals as the pick of those with experience.
