Turnbuckle makes his belated racecourse debut and breeding suggests middle-distances will suit. It will be no surprise if he goes well especially if supported in the betting. The likes of Au Renoir and Norman's Star have shown nothing so far, but bumper winner Puzzle Time went close at Wolverhampton on her debut on the Flat and should be in the mix. YEAH BABY was beaten less then a length over 1m2f at Lingfield last time and given she found only one too good on this surface before that, Charlie Hills' filly is fancied to open her account today.
