Tricky one to map with a large contingent of unraced runners but over this trip there is certain to be plenty of early pressure. KERGUELEN (2) is on debut on a heavy track but has won both trials in a professional manner. Drawn poorly but should make an immediate impact first up. COLOPHON (10) tried hard on debut and previous trials were solid. With added fitness can find a few lengths into this so looks a likely danger. MACHAON (3) is a three-year-old gelding making his debut. By Capitalist and hails from the Annabel Neasham yard. Runner up in his latest trial at Randwick and draws well so keep safe along with fellow debutant RHEGION (8) who hasn't been far away at the trials. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kerguelen win.
