Verdict
The market hasn't always proved the best guide and Richard Hannon won a division of this with his second string a year ago. With Richard Hughes on board, Pupil is likely to come in for support being related to several winners but don't rule out Template, a half-brother to two 6f winners. EYE CONTACT is by Dansili and his pedigree suggests he'll be suited by this trip on his debut so he gets the nod but nothing can be ruled out including the well-connected God Willing. Raise Your Gaze was always in the firing-line on his debut at Sandown and, though unable to quicken, will have learned plenty and has to be considered.
