A deep first division of the novice stakes with several interesting candidates who have shaped well so far plus some well-bred debutantes like Major Partnership who is worth paying attention to in the market. Pivotal Man is likely to improve for his initial run where he still needed the experience and Tahreek certainly caught the eye when a big price for his debut last year and he now makes his return. Il Primo Sole is the only winner in the field having won at this level on his debut and despite his two “failures” since he’s still respected here. HOMBRE CASADO shaped like a winner in waiting last time though when not given a hard time and he’s expected to go close given that recent run.
