The market should prove instructive but Quantum Impact, Dark Kestrel and Heroism are a trio of newcomers worth a second look. Once More For Luck created a 125/1 shock at Ffos Las but proved that was no fluke with a solid effort when just over five lengths off the winner in the Weatherbys Super Sprint. He's back up in trip now and that will suit and a talented apprentice claims a valuable 7lb. However, the Goodwood run of CELTIC CHAMPION looks the best form with the Godolphin-owned winner rated as particularly useful. Magical Merlin made a pleasing Newbury debut when apparently unfancied and should come on plenty for the run.
