MYSTERIOUS SOUL was not disgraced on his debut at Lingfield a month ago and, with the benefit of that experience, it would be no surprise to see the son of Kuroshio get off the mark at the second attempt. Vice Captain arguably sets the form standard and has to be of interest in a first-time hood, while Haya Taal and Royal Hussar complete the shortlist.

MYSTERIOUS SOUL

Leading course trainer (17-22): A Watson (32 wins from 230 runners, 14%) runs ROYAL HUSSAR

Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): A Watson (4 wins from 47 runners, 9%) runs ROYAL HUSSAR colours no horse

PLAY SMARTER

ROYAL HUSSAR stepped up massively on his debut when fifth at Newcastle so could be the answer to this weak maiden in a change of headgear with main rivals Vice Captain and Haya Taal likely to do well.
