Newcomer Gooseberry Fool is one to keep an eye on on her debut as she's related to six winners including the useful Approach, who was also trained by Sir Mark Prescott. Beau Mistral has been threatening to get off the mark with a couple of placed efforts at Nottingham recently, but SHAMAAL NIBRAS makes more appeal. He was sent off favourite for his debut at Goodwood and finished a decent fourth after fading in the closing stages. Ed Dunlop's colt can open his account here with normal improvement. La Taniere was completely unfancied for his debut at York but certainly wasn't disgraced in fifth-place and could figure in this.
