First-time headgear is applied to Tawaasheeh after a promising start at Newmarket. He looks sure to figure along with Puissant, a runner-up at Newcastle recently. Kevin Stott's allowance helps the cause of Subcontinent but Godolphin's other runner, New Strategy, makes his racecourse debut. DRUMKILBO has not raced since July when third over 6f but his dam won a Listed race over today's trip so a chance is taken on the Cecil colt in the opener.
