ROUGEMONT was sent off a big price for his racecourse debut at Newmarket but won it in good style. Richard Hannon's colt is held in high regard and connections have the Racing Post Trophy in mind if he passes this first real test of his ability. Leqqaa was also an easy winner on his debut but he couldn't get past another Hannon inmate in Coupe De Ville over C&D last time, while Telwaar has come up short in a couple of starts in Listed company after scoring at Doncaster. Fencing is another with entries in the leading juvenile races and he'll have come on for his debut behind the potentially useful Entifaadha at Newmarket, but Mister Music and Mick Channon's duo, Foster's Road and Shivsingh, face tough tasks.
