This looks a potentially intriguing novice with all five newcomers worthy of consideration, though the market will hopefully provide accurate assistance. Evocative Spark and Kitsune Power make most appeal on paper but experience remains a valuable commodity in juvenile contests and ALTRAIF is taken to make his tell. He's shaped nicely on both starts at Newmarket in races that have worked out well. George Boughey is having a splendid season and his Brasil Power delivered a pleasing debut over this trip at Doncaster last month - he'll know more here.
