40,000euros 3yo; trainer does very well in bumpers; one to be interested in on debut

Easily won a point on debut last May and the runner-up has shown useful form since

£22,500 3yo; half-brother to four winners but he may be one for further down the line

Fourth of six on recent debut but attracted market support and he's a possible improver

8,000euros yearling; check the market but a watching brief may be the best option on debut
