REBEL’S ROMANCE was good enough to make a winning debut at Nottingham and the Godolphin charge may be worth sticking with despite a penalty. Frantoio and Bay Bridge debuted on soft going and may do better on this surface while the latter’s stablemate and newcomer Tiger Beetle is one of several newcomers worth noting representing powerful yards. The latter is a half-brother to the high-class Palace Pier while Nagano is related to a Group 3 winner among others. Surefire, Anmaat, Mythical Times and Highland Rocker are others to keep an eye on in the betting.
