A tricky maiden gets the card underway and Beautiful Breeze is only a speculative nomination. Cosmic Sun and The Kyllachy Kid are others to bear in mind from those with experience, while Ask Dan is an interesting newcomer worth noting for future reference. The last named is bred to be a effective at around this sort of trip and, with his yard's record with two-year-olds looking healthy this season, the Bryan Smart-trained colt should not be overlooked; especially if his claims are backed up by confidence from the betting ring. The Kyllachy Kid was not given a hard time when he met trouble in running last time out and looks a typical improver from the Tom Tate yard. A draw near the rail gives him a handy position and a big run can be anticipated from the colt. Cosmic Sun has definite ability and can find a race before too long. However, a rating of 85 looks very harsh, so this looks a sensible option to stay in maiden company for the time being. Nevertheless, the cracks are starting to appear and he would make limited appeal at cramped odds. Therefore, it can pay to take a chance on Beautiful Breeze, who ran with distinct promise on debut at Redcar. And, considering Mark Johnston's capability at eliciting improvement between outings, this son of Tobougg is taken as the one to be on in the opener at Beverley.
