With eight debutantes in the field this isn't a race that really appeals as a betting contest although those that have run set a decent standard. Al Barg and Ode To Autumn who ought to show some improvement on his two runs so far are two that appeal but its AL HAJAR who didn't get the run off the race on his debut who is the suggestion. Of the debutantes Revolutionary Man is worth noting from the Crisford yard who are always to be noted with the juveniles with Deyaarna another one having his initial run to note in the market.
