Gary Moore laughed at those recently who suggested he cannot get two-year-old debutant winners, and Queen Of Thebes warrants respect being related to several two-year-old winners, however the most interesting newcomers look to be Happy Forever, Touching, and Imaginary Diva, however they may have to play second fiddle to Jargelle. William Haggas has his horses running well, and this filly was a good third on debut at Warwick recently. She looks well-drawn here and with nominal improvement should not be far away at the line. Like For Like has shown ability, but she has been doing too much in her races and failing to really last home. Stablemate Touching is nicely-bred, and it will be interesting to see how she moves in the market compared to her stablemate. Boho Chic ran well on debut and can only improve, whilst Anjuna comes from a stable whose juveniles often improve plenty for their first run. A decent opener, with Jargelle given the vote.
