Ground Zero shaped promisingly in useful company behind Checkit on his debut but possibly failed to handle testing conditions when disappointing next time. Tim Easterby's charge is capable of winning a race of this nature if repeating his earlier form while Takes Two To Tango ran green on her debut and is entitled to improve significantly for the experience. Western Diplomat is a well bred newcomer from a yard that produces plenty of first-time out winners and should be noted closely in the market.
