A bumper for inexperienced jockeys is hardly the ideal getting-out stakes and it's complicated by the fact that those with previous experience have shown little so far under Rules, though Royalzaro has won a couple of point-to-points. John Ferguson has a good record with debutants in this sort of race so Wenyerreadyfreddie is worth a market check but MIDNIGHT MAESTRO's dam has produced winners with all four of her previous offspring and, as he's by top NH sire Midnight Legend, Alan King's newcomer gets the vote.
