A modest race to open the card, in which Cupid's Glory could be worth chancing as he will not need to be anything out of the ordinary to make a winning debut. With Seyaadi and Keynes expected to pose the most problems out of the rest. That said, Raza Cab also caught the eye in defeat on his debut and is another to consider if supported before the off. Conrad Allen's two-year-olds have tended to come on plenty from their first outings so far this season and solid support should not be ignored out of hand if his owning syndicate have been given the nod. Whereas Fong Shui should appreciate the step up in trip and cannot be confidently ruled out of making the frame. However, Cupid's Glory - a full-brother to useful juvenile Courting - hails from a yard that have always have to be respected with their youngsters and looks an ideal type to be ready to do himself justice at the first time of asking. Sir Mark Prescott will no doubt have taken into account that none of those to have raced previously are likely to be breaking course records at the moment. So time may tell that Cupid's Glory, as the pick of the eight entries from Heath House at the five-day stage, has not been faced with the stiffest of tests as he makes his racecourse debut today.
