A decent novice to open the card with a few potential improvers in the line-up. They look to be headed by MODERN GAMES, who took a huge step forward on his second start at Newmarket. He won decisively that day and there is likely more to come. Al Baahy shaped well on debut and he should improve to go close. Like A Lion has to be taken seriously after his Salisbury win too.
