Richard Hannon should feel pretty confident of going close with no less than three chances, two with juveniles which have already displayed a decent level of ability and a potentially useful newcomer. The market should help to identify stable expectations but DIRTY RASCAL shaped well on debut when prominent throughout and has a decent middle stall draw from which Tom Marquand can ride his race. Stable companion Pirate is going the right way and Motafaawit represents a powerful owner. He needs monitoring in the market alongside other interesting newcomers in Nayef Road, Momkin and Merlin's Magic, preferred in that order. Others to have displayed promise in an open maiden are Dombra and Forseti, both of whom can be expected to progress appreciably from respective debuts.
