Not disgraced when seventh in the Queen Mary at Ascot, La Cuesta was expected to do much better in an ordinary maiden at York last time. One Moment went close at Lingfield recently but has had plenty of chances and Candlelight is less exposed. But Jeremy Noseda boasts an excellent strike rate at the track, especially in two-year-old races, so the vote goes to COURIER (NAP) to improve on last month's debut effort at Newmarket and land this. Vivre La Reve is related to winning sprinters and Desert Apostle is out of a prolific mare so are interesting debutantes.
