11/2

Already gelded and not as well bred as many for these connections but did show some promise when seventh of 13 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, good, 9/2) on debut 12 days ago, nearest finish. Should improve.

Forecasts

Tafreej (5/6), Miqdaad (11/4), Poseidon Prince (11/2), Dear Daphne (17/2), Al Khawaneej Spirt (22/1), Awtaar (33/1), Cloud Queen (33/1), Omniking (33/1), Twayblade (150/1), Speziato (150/1)

TAFREEJ left his debut well behind when third in a good-looking maiden at Newbury 3 weeks ago and on that evidence, he's up to winning a race such as this. Miqdaad is bred to be useful so he warrants a second look on debut, with Poseidon Prince expected to step forward.
