A few choicely-bred newcomers from leading stables so the market will be interesting but NAILS MURPHY did run to quite a good level on debut so might be up to defying a penalty. Dragon Icon, Brightly and Elnajmm are the first timers who make the most appeal, while Ralph Beckett's Balance Play is a likely improver on the back of his Nottingham debut fourth.
