COUGAR’S GOLD looks the safest bet having improved with every run and not beaten far when fourth at Ayr last month. Peter Bowen’s charge should have the beating of Black Ivory, placed at Newcastle on his earlier debut. The remainder make their racecourse debut with Flemenskill one to keep an eye on as he’s a half-brother to bumper and chase winners while Rat A Tat Tat is related to a bumper winner in Ireland.
