Verdict
None of the three with experience set the pulse racing on their modest debuts. They all should improve here, but the newcomer CROWN DEPENDENCY won't have to be anything special to open his account. Richard Hannon's colt cost 65,000gns and jockey bookings suggest he's preferred to stablemate Airborne Again. Blank Czech is a half-brother to a couple of winners and is worth noting, but Dovils Date may be seen to better effect over further and Fresteem is probably best watched on this occasion.
