This could go the way of OPPORTUNITY, who made a good impression when winning a strong Haydock novice last year and remains with potential having been gelded ahead of this season's return. Valedictory made a promising seasonal/handicap debut and heads the list of dangers, with Serenity Blue and Wine Dark Sea others to consider.
