Titus Alone would not need to be out of the ordinary to make a winning debut but lack of a previous outing for Brian Smart's colt has to be of concern and preference is for Dusty Devil, who gets the vote ahead of Lindus Atenor. The last mentioned was well held on his Warwick debut but that was in a much better race than this and Karl Burke's filly has to be respected taking a drop in class. Nigel Tinkler's Lucksin showed promise first time out and should appreciate the fast ground so cannot be ruled out, while Trans Vision would probably want a softer surface to show her best form. Spirit of Coniston and Drink To Me Only make only limited appeal so the vote goes to Dusty Devil. Bill Turner's juveniles are beginning to hit form now and having shown a decent level of form when chasing home Countrywide Belle at Southwell first time out it was disappointing that he was well beaten at Wolverhampton last time. The benefit of those previous runs should not be underestimated though and on debut form Dusty Devil looks to be the one that they all have to beat.
