Neither Dovil's Duel nor Left Defender look like they'll be winning anytime soon so this can go to a newcomer. Lilbourne Lass looks a likely contender as her half-sister Flirtinaskirt recently won on the all-weather and Captain Ryan has plenty of speed in his pedigree. The dam of ZAFRAAJ is a winning sprinter and a half-sister to the very smart Borderlescott. Ron Harris' colt may well be good enough on his debut with Disko perhaps best of the remainder.
