Verdict
Bing Bang Bong and Caponova wouldn't need to be anything special to play a leading role on debut and the market should reveal more of their chances. Flying Pursuit and LADY ARGENTUM are more exposed than the opposition but the latter was going on very strongly at the business end when only beaten a half-length at Ripon last time in a manner indicating that this stiff track will suit well. Her yard has an excellent line to northern juvenile form. Master Mirasol has a chance and Tweetheart rates a likely improver but Jack Carter looks the prime threat, especially if settling more amenably, after shaping well on debut when third at Leicester over this trip.
