Ed Dunlop's Andhaar, who showed some promise on his Sandown debut, probably has the best form among those to have raced previously but there are some interesting newcomers in the field here and success may go to one of them with Mirrored, getting the vote over Beraimi. The last mentioned is by Alhaarth out of a sister to Iffraaj and has to be respected first time up for Michael Jarvis but he may want a softer surface so may be best watched. Luca Cumani's Poster is bred to be useful but the yard are not known for their success with first time out juveniles, while Tae Kwon Do looks the second best of Ed Dunlop's two runners. Wannabe King ran a respectable race on his Newmarket debut but would probably need to improve to trouble the judge here and preference is for Mirrored. Sir Michael Stoute's colt is bred to be useful being a Dansili half-brother to My Shadow and a chance is taken that he will be good enough to make a winning debut.
