Bought for £165,000 after winning his sole point; likely player on rules debut

Runner-up in three points; brings potential to rules career and could give a good account
NR	Cairo King Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Jamie Snowden	J:NON-RUNNER T:Jamie Snowden	155	—	9-3	-	97	-	52d	—	—	-47	23	—	—
Displayed some ability when third at Stratford, albeit soundly beaten; improvement needed

Check the betting on debut but a watching brief is probably the best option

0-9 in points and he's probably best watched on this rules debut

£4,000 3yo; makes debut; related to winners but probably best to look elsewhere

2nd of 5 in sole point but that was March 2022 and the worth of the form is questionable

Newcomer; related to winners and trainer's bumper runners can go well at decent odds
