The market should prove instructive with many newcomers on show but Karl Burke has enjoyed a fine season with his juveniles and AL NAJADA may prove good enough. A second foal, the son of Exceed And Excel is given the nod with the yard having such a good line to current juvenile form. Mark and Charlie Johnston are rolling along nicely enough as usual with their youngsters and Lamation is sure to have been well prepared but Supreme King could prove the main stumbling block to the selection as he's a son of Kingman and the juvenile battalions of the Hannon army have been going well. The remaining newcomers are all worth a market note and the two with a run under their respective belts probably need to improve considerably.
