Newcomer DALMATIAN COAST is a typically blue-blooded newcomer from his powerful yard and the hint should be taken if there's confidence behind him in the betting. He'll need to be pretty useful in order to make a winning debut, though, as Amortentia sets a good standard on the back of promising efforts at Leopardstown and Dundalk. Paris Lights and Silken Ladder are others to consider.
