The market should reveal plenty with no form to go on but Aidan O'Brien's OFFICER makes plenty of appeal on paper and is taken to go in at the first time of asking with Ryan Moore in the saddle. Stablemate Thrice is also bred to be useful and could emerge as the chief threat, although Storm Piece, Tribal Nation, Broadstone and Desmond Castle are other potentially interesting debutants to consider in this intriguing maiden.
