Mark Johnston likes to win this maiden race and his filly TO THE SEA may be good enough to score at the first time of asking. She's a first foal whose dam is related to the smart Border Patrol among others and any strong support in the betting for her or fellow debutants Trove and Dorrit should be noted. Lycidas could be thereabouts if stepping up on his decent debut effort at Ffos Las earlier this month and he's preferred to the more exposed I'm Harry, while Confirmed failed to improve at Newmarket in September on only his second start, but could prove best of the rest.
