Newcomer Murbeck is given the tentative nod here at the expense of Overturn and View From The Top. The selection is having his debut but is well related to some half decent performers and the stable have a good strike rate with their first time outers so the market will speak for itself. Overturn ran with credit on his debut when fifth of sixteen at Newmarket and will come on for the experience so should be noted. As does View From The Top who again caught the eye in a maiden at Newmarket when fourth behind Hanging On. He is guaranteed to improve therefore has to be on the short list. But for the winner we will side with Murbeck who despite having had no racecourse experience will be well prepared for his debut.
