Firlinfeu

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

7/2

Unraced gelded son of New Approach and a full-brother to winner Zamfir. Yard can boast a 25% strike-rate (3-12) in recent weeks and work a check in the market on debut.

Sociologist⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Meade

Finished a well beaten 12th of 14 when making his debut over 7f at Kempton last week. Steps up markedly in trip and much more needed today.

Broderie

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: C Appleby

Unraced Pivotal filly out of a Group-placed mare. Stable are in good form a present (5-8) and she is one for the shortlist on today's racecourse debut.

Forecasts

Craving (7/4), Broderie (9/4), Firlinfeu (7/2), Sociologist (9/2), Aiglette (50/1), Zarrar (66/1)

The well-bred BRODERIE can make a winning debut for trainer Charlie Appleby in this competitive novice event. The selection represents a stable with a 28% strike-rate (5/18) of late and can see off the multiply placed Craving today. Another from a leading stable is Firlinfeu and he can finish best of the rest on today's racecourse debut.
