Plenty of dead wood in this so it is probably a good opportunity for PAPACITO (NAP) to make a winning debut. He is a half-brother to several winners and cost 140,000gns as a yearling – connections will want an early return on their investment in this company. Walls Of Kano carries a penalty for last month’s narrow course and distance victory but can’t be ignored. Qasaad and Sea Fern are other newcomers worth a market check.
