Plenty of these have shown promise on their debuts including Reel Man, Coral Shores and Cheque, and we will side with the first named. Richard Hannon's juveniles invariably improve with racing and having been given a gentle introduction at Haydock he could be spot on for this. Cheque looks the pick of the two Jamie Osborne runners having finished a decent fifth behind Imperial Decree at Yarmouth. Coral Shores is from a yard full of juvenile talent and she went close on her first run at Brighton. The Willowy Wigeon and Khana Ras also fall into the the one run category and can progress. So not a race to place too much of the hard earned and Reel Man ios just a sporting selection.
