Not much for us to go on here but a race that is likely to fall to one of the Richard Hannon pairing and we will take a chance on Spaced, mainly on jockey bookings, with stablemate Cloann also likely to go well and Zendaro, who could make the frame. Spaced should get a fair bit further than this in time, but this should be a nice introduction over six furlongs on decent ground, and with the trainer's good record here and Richard Hughes to give him a patient ride we will take him to score. The filly Cloann receives 10lb from her stablemate and only really Hannon can tell how they compare until after the race. Nevertheless there is plenty in the bloodlines to suggest that she will be smart at two and she can make the frame among not many obvious alternatives. Zendaro has the benefit of a run, albeit nothing special on the fibresand at Southwell. This extra furlong will be better for him and he could put that experience to good use and make a decent showing now, while Shaheer will surely be capable of better than a ponderous Newbury debut and Brian Meehan's charge should also be thereabouts this time. Market moves aside, we will take a chance on Spaced to make a winning debut.
