This is wide open so at the likely odds it is worth siding with Roger Varian's SUZUKA to belatedly confirm earlier promise from a lenient-looking mark and open his account. Recent Lingfield scorer Apple's Angel heads the list of dangers, although Jersey Maverick, Apple Of My Eye and Play Me can all have a say too. Callout completes the shortlist.
