Tamashal (C)
Half-brother to useful winners but was held back by inexperience when fifth of 10 on debut over 7f at Chelmsford (6/1) 2 weeks ago, not knocked about and finishing with running left. Will need to leave that effort well behind to figure but…

Felix Gem (G)

Much improved from debut when second of 5 in novice at Wolverhampton over 9.5f (3/1) in January, beaten a neck having raced freely. Can progress further back down in trip and the one to beat.

Irish Incentive (F)
Starman filly who was unlucky not to finish a lot closer when fifth of 10 in a 7f maiden at Musselburgh (12/1) on debut in November, never getting any room to open up on the inner. Steps up to 1m switched to AW and entitled to progress.

Blue Celestial (F)
Improving plenty by the run, most recently finishing third of 13 in maiden at Kempton (18/1) 29 days ago, staying on. Gave impression a return to 1m will suit so open to further improvement.

Golden Muse (F)
10,000 gns yearling. Golden Horn filly. Dam unraced out of useful Japanese 6f-1m winner Speak Softly. Market often a good guide when assessing yard's newcomers.
