Amazing Grazing and Northwest Frontier were both placed on their respective debuts at Wetherby and Ripon but the pair were well beaten and the former steps up in trip. Fire Leopard is just as interesting as she was keen when making her debut over 1m4f at Haydock but still ran a nice race. HERON, by a Grade 1 winner in the States and out of a French Listed winner, would not need to be anything special to make a winning start and gets the nod. Roddy may be best of the rest.
