Eighth on debut in a Leicester maiden (race has produced several winners), he didn't see out his race in a similar event Doncaster subsequently but is worth another chance in a first-time tongue strap over a longer trip.

Finished one place better than on debut when runner-up at Newmarket last time, no match for a useful prospect but beating the rest well enough, and this looks a good opportunity to get off the mark.

Went backwards from a solid third at Kempton when a well-held eighth (behind Ballisty) at Newmarket, though this is hardly a strong race, and he cannot be discounted if building on his debut at the second attempt.

Showed ability from the front but folded under pressure when sixth of 7 on debut (12/1) at Carlisle (5f) and while bred for even further, the extra furlong can only help.

Foaled March 7. 22,000 gns yearling, Showcasing gelding. Dam, ran twice in France, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Taamol. Market usually a good guide for stable's debutants.

Failed to progress from his debut when fourth of 10 in a novice at Windsor (5f), however, he's in good hands and back up in trip.

Foaled February 13. Lope Y Fernandez colt. Dam 9.5f-1½m winner. Yard's newcomers typically need the experience but betting should guide.

Foaled March 19. Ardad filly. Half-sister to winner up to 1¼m Big Song. Dam 1½m winner. Debutant from in-form yard at least warrants a market check.

Foaled March 5. €10,000 yearling, £15,000 2-y-o, Bayside Boy filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 7f Ghost Mode. Dam unraced. Stable more than capable of readying one first time up and the market should offer plenty of clues.
