KISUMU was a real eye-catcher on debut at Leicester, staying on into second behind the odds-on Outlaw Country. James Doyle keeps faith with the High Chaparral colt and he can go one better today with the extra furlong sure to suit. The filly Farendole runs in the same colours and is an interesting newcomer while Istinfaar and Moheet are other debutants worth a second look. Brandon Castle, placed on debut at Bath, and Lingfield third Gilt Master, have experience on their side but possibly don't have the scope of others.
