Shaped very well amidst greenness on 5f Newmarket debut; 6f will suit; the one to beat
4 (4)	Impressive Act Bay J:William Buick T:Charlie Appleby	J:William Buick T:Charlie Appleby	133	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-18	8	5/2 29%
650,000gns yearling who makes obvious paper appeal for his top stable

Form of AW debut in Ireland nothing special but he's from a top yard; cheekpieces added

Son of Starspangledbanner who needs monitoring in the betting

Oisin Murphy booked for a yard which has a couple of 2yo winners to compare this one to
8 (1)	Varden Chestnut J:Tom Eaves T:Kevin Ryan	J:Tom Eaves T:Kevin Ryan	133	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-6	2.1	11 9%
Stable won this with a newcomer in these silks in 2019; betting interesting
9 (8)	We Never Stop Bay J:Shane Gray T:Kevin Ryan	J:Shane Gray T:Kevin Ryan	133	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-4	1.6	18 6%
Varden probably the stable first string but the market will provide more clues

Worth a precautionary betting check for yard which has tasted success in this race
7 (7)	Ticktyboo Bay J:Rowan Scott T:Nigel Tinkler	J:Rowan Scott T:Nigel Tinkler	133	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-2	0.9	33 3%
100,000gns breeze-up purchase but yard not a regular source of first-time-out 2yo winners
6 (2)	Socialise Bay J:Faye McManoman T:Nigel Tinkler	J:Faye McManoman T:Nigel Tinkler	133	—	6	-	60	38	26d	—	—	-2	0.6	66 2%
25-1, well-beaten sixth of seven on 5f Thirsk debut (soft) 26 days ago
