NIBLAWI was caught in the closing stages over track and trip on his debut and Michael Bell's colt is taken to go one better with normal improvement. Quest For Wonder also made a promising start when runner-up at Wolverhampton and should be in the mix while Candella, Whitchurch and Callendula look other likely improvers and may figure. Faith Matters is a half-sister to a winner and is a newcomer to note.
