Some newcomers to note representing yards capable of getting one ready first time. Jockey bookings indicate Shabaaby, with plenty of speed in his pedigree, is the first choice of the owner's two entries while Alba Power and Nyaleti also make appeal at this stage. However, a market check is essential with so many unknown quantities going to post. That said, the standard set by the pair with experience is pretty useful and BILLESDON BROOK is taken to make her experience count against the boys, especially in receipt of the mandatory 5lb sex allowance. She had the rest well beaten off when second at Goodwood and the third that day, Elizabeth Bennet, demolished her field next time up at Lingfield. Luna Eclipse, a pleasing third here on debut, seems sure to relish this additional furlong and represents a real threat to the selection.
