AMRALAH finished a respectable fifth in a decent maiden at Ascot on his debut. He'll need to win this if he's to take up one of a host of fancy entries later in the season and is taken to do so. Purcell finished a couple of lengths behind the selection on his introduction and looks the biggest threat today unless Derwent shows a big improvement on better ground than he encountered at Windsor on his debut. Empowerment is a half-brother to multiple winner Last Destination and may prove the pick of the Hannon newcomers ahead of King Oliver.
