Verdict
CLEAR CUT appeared to find the mile trip too far here in the Group 3 Autumn Stakes last time. But he went close at Fairyhouse before that so Jim Bolger's colt could prove the one to beat back in maiden company. Paul Hanagan prefers the newcomer and half-brother to three winners Mujaamil to Chelmsford fourth Jaameh while Curriculum and Stratum are other debutants to note. Vizier is likely to improve after a modest introduction at Haydock but will need to if he is to figure.
