Verdict

CHANGE THE SUBJECT finished a close-up fourth on his handicap debut at Newmarket earlier this month. A repeat effort back in maiden company should see Sir Henry Cecil's charge off the mark. Kyllachy Spirit ran as though something was amiss at Goodwood last time, though has claims on his earlier form. Midnight Waltz and James Fanshawe's duo, Novirak and Fairest Isle, look likely to need more time on the evidence of modest debut efforts however. My Cherie Amour has a winning half-sister and could prove best of the newcomers.
