TURTLE REEF has offered encouragment both starts so far, racing prominently for a long way before finishing fifth of 12 in an informative-looking novice at Newcastle last time, so he is taken to build on those efforts and open his account. Tewkesbury has also shown promise in his 2 outings and is respected, while Lady Dora Mae is one to note on stable debut.
