THORKHILL STAR couldn't quite get to Fingal's Cave when stepped up to this trip at Leicester but was staying on strongly and can finally get off the mark. Harlequin Striker has run his last four races at Salisbury but his latest was his worse so his chance of landing a maiden may have gone. Bridgekeeper made a fair debut at Nottingham but didn't appear to improve at Windsor so Colours Of Glory can prove more of a threat as he has some form on this track and showed improvement when a close third at Leicester. Delaire hails from a yard who will be hoping for bigger things later this week and wouldn't need to be a world-beater to make a successful debut.
