Plenty of runners in the opener and it's hard too be dogmatic in naming a selection but Privy Seal could well improve enough from his debut run to land the evening's opener. The form of his sixth to Grand Reward at Newbury may not have worked out as well as might have been expected, but it has produced winners and he could prove to be another. There are plenty of others that have an interesting look to them. Cartronageeraghlad is related to winners and Kieren Fallon has been booked; Roger Charlton's Colour Wheel is well bred; there is plenty of speed in Eezaa Geezer's blood, a similarly comment applying to Red Damson on the female side of his pedigree. Richard Hannon runs both Eezaa Geezer and Instructor. The latter cost 110,000gns and, although he will probably need further in time, cannot be ruled out of things. Show No Fear showed plenty of promise on his Yarmouth debut and has also to be respected, while Totally Yours is half-sister to last year's top juvenile, Tout Seul, and Hughie Morrison paid 24,000gns to get Pastoral Pursuits into his stable.
