The Beckett team had a two-year-old scorer at Salisbury recently and Palmar Bay represents the yard here. The Exceed And Excel colt wouldn't have to be very special to make a winning debut and the market should provide the best signpost to his chance. However, REVENUE has the benefit of experience and showed a good attitude when making a winning debut at Brighton, the form of which has been boosted by the runner-up scoring next time. She's taken to follow up for a yard which has made a fine start to the season with their juveniles. Tears Of A Clown and Macedonian King were well beaten on debut but will come on for the run, although both need to take a major step forward to handle the selection.
