Verdict
New Trier stopped quickly on his first run at Kempton and is unlikely to be one of Wesley Ward's sharpest two-year-olds. Kreb's Cycle, on the other hand, was only headed close home over track and trip on debut and will be fancied to go one better today. DANDY ROLL was a cheap buy but then changed hands for 60,000euros. His dam won over 6f as a two-year-old and Ralph Beckett's Dandy Man colt can keep up the family tradition by making a winning debut. Brian Meehan's juveniles are always worth a second look here and the £38,000 yearling Await The Storm is no exception while Mark Johnston's Havelock is sure to know his job.
