Verdict
With no public form to work on, the market will provide the best clues but Karl Burke has a made a bright start to the campaign and it would be no surprise if Shank On Fourteen proved capable of making a winning debut. A son of Fayruz out of a winning sprinter by Efisio, he is certainly bred to be speedy while Tim Easterby's jerome also has plenty of pace on the dam side and should make an impact at this level. James Given is more than capable of producing a first-time out winner and Tanara should be closely monitored but Are You There isn't bred to be an early type and may find this on the sharp side.
