Passage Vendome has been beaten a distance on both starts and would be an unlikely winner despite his connections. REALT DEN CHATHAIR is only moderate but he's been performing in better company than this and doesn't look to have too much to beat. Warwickshire should be better for his opening run but any money for newcomer Ring Of Steel could prove significant as he's from a family with plenty of Flat pace and wouldn't need to be a world-beater to make a winning start.
