BURNING DAWN was narrowly denied when runner-up on debut at Doncaster and she is entitled to improve for that initial experience so could take plenty of beating today. Indignant has shaped with plenty of promise on her two outings to date and she must be respected along with Elegant Silk who made a very pleasing debut at Newbury last month. The two Marco Botti newcomers, Best To Better and Sand Grouse, are also worth a market check.

MOORHOUSE GIRL is a half sister to the high class Moorhouse Lad and although not of that calibre, she showed enough promise on her reappearance at Redcar to suggest she is capable of playing a leading role here. Divertimenti has not been at his best of late but he can make his presence felt if bouncing back to top form. Secret Venue, Gottcher and Style And Panache are all worthy of consideration.

There are lots of unexposed and potentially well treated handicap debutants stepping up in trip in here, including Native Eight, Serjeant Buzfuz and Phantom Ranch. Madam Lilibet must be considered despite a 6lb rise for her 1m4f Hamilton success as the form has been boosted since. However, it might be worth taking a chance on ASTONISHED HARRY. He has shaped with some promise on two of his three runs this year, including when an eyecatching fifth over 2m at Beverley last time.

Attenborough has been rather disappointing so far this season but it is too early to write him off and he is respected along with the hat-trick seeking Gala Casino Star. Another For Joe finished runner-up to Geoff Harker's representative at Ayr last time and he is weighted to reverse that form so makes the shortlist. West End Lad should not be underestimated but TAMARRUD gets the nod. He has not really built on his juvenile debut success in three starts this year but he has been performing with credit and should give a good account here.

There was plenty to like about MEDICI MUSIC's debut effort at Yarmouth and with considerable improvement likely, he is fancied to get off the mark this afternoon. The Baronet has shaped nicely on both of his outings to date and he should be on the premises. Capacious is a full sister to James Fanshawe's dual Group 2 winning mare Spacious, so any confidence behind her on debut would be very interesting.

A very tricky finale but one who makes plenty of appeal is SIR TREVOR. Tom Dascombe's team appear to have finally hit form and if he can reproduce the form of his Beverley second, then he could prove the one to beat. Elijah Pepper and Mark Anthony have both been knocking on the door of late and they command the utmost respect along with Breaking The Bank, who shaped nicely on his reappearance at Bath. Glenridding and Zafonic Star are also worth a look.
