Comment: Without a win after ten attempts but has shown some recent improvement; finished ahead of two of these rivals in a maiden claimer when not beaten that far into runner-up at 9-5 last month; could be interesting as recent performance was encouraging and he can take this step up in class in his stride.

Comment: Stable not synonymous with debutant winners; sire is a rich source of two-year-old winners; interesting to see how she figures in the betting as hasn't shown a great deal in her trackwork.
