Some promising types line up in a useful opener. Top of the list is STRONG WARRIOR, who impressed at Ayr last July on his sole start, but U Sure Do could be a dangerous opponent having shown considerable ability last June on his two outings. Veblen Good is another possible contender, while Michael Dods has a good record in this race and saddles the newcomer Call Me Betty.[Ben Hutton]

Cost 150,000gns at the breeze-ups last May and was the 5-4 favourite when a comfortable winner of a four-runner maiden on debut at Ayr (5f, good) last July; absent since and carries penalty but could be very promising.
Runner-up on debut at Sandown (5f, soft) last September then went one better by a nose at Wolverhampton (5f, AW); gelded since; his pedigree provides optimism he's capable of better still; respected under a penalty.
1,000gns foal, £8,000 yearling; seventh foal; Mayson half-brother to four winners notably Groupie (6f/7f; RPR 86); dam 5f winner (72); makes debut in a useful race and he may be best watched.
Fifth foal; Twilight Son half-brother to winners Canaria Queen (5f/5.5f; RPR 74) and Canaria Prince (5f; 64); dam tough 5f/6f winner (98); trainer has done well with the family but he may be one for further down the line.
From a family connections have done well with and he showed some ability last autumn on his first two starts (6f, good to soft/soft), but he'll probably be of greater interest when handicapping after this run.
Went very close at 125-1 on debut at Haydock (6f, good) last June and third in hot maiden at York (6f, good to soft) nine days later; absent since (gelded in interim); major player if reproducing that promise on return.
Third foal; Mayson brother to winners Amaysmont (6f-8.6f; RPR 91) and Majeur (Italian 6f/7f); he'll need to be useful if he's to make a winning debut in today's company.
33,000euros yearling; third foal; Sands Of Mali half-sister to 5f 2yo winner Love Wars (RPR 84); dam 6f 2yo winner (83), half-sister to two useful sprinters; faces no easy task against males on debut but trainer has won two of the last three runnings, including with a 9-1 newcomer in 2022.
