Experience is in short supply here and that same commodity is non-existent on the surface with none of this field having experienced this unique test. Of the two that have run Haats Off looks to have the most improvement in her having shown some good speed on her debut and she may be able to put that to good use. Karl Burke has a good record here and usually has some sharp juveniles and his MAJESTIC APPEAL should be able to himself justice on his debut. Richard Fahey is another trainer who is always to be respected with his youngsters so his Mr Buttons should be respected along with North Korea. He has an appealing pedigree and any market moves should be noted for this one.
