Hard to know if either of the debutants are going to be up to much but if they aren’t then BUR DUBAI surely has a great chance to make the breakthrough. This Night Of Thunder colt who a promising third on debut at Chelmsford only beaten half a length.

He was nearest finish and clocked a decent speed figure in the process. With natural improvement I make him the one to beat under Richard Kingscote. Kingman colt Temple City was beaten 3 lengths into third on debut at Newmarket and seems to be the obvious threat if improving. Lautrec represents powerful connections and will be worth a market check.

Tellherthename was an expensive purchase and he did only go down a nose on debut over hurdles at Ascot but I like the look of THE KEMBLE BREWERY here for Kim Bailey. The yard have made a flying start to the season and this horse caught the eye winning impressively on debut under Rules at Huntingdon.

He defied a penalty to win at this track on reappearance last month which is no easy task. Now sent hurdling he could be a nice horse and I’m hopeful he can make a winning start. Innatendue is over from Ireland and is greatly respected along with Morning Soldier who wasn’t disgraced at Naas when last seen.
