AUGUST (3) was well-backed to make a winning stable debut at Southwell thirteen days ago. He found one better on that occasion but sets the standard back in novice company and can get off the mark for new connections. YASMINA (9) finished runner-up to a decent horse over 1m at Kempton when last seen over a year ago and looks an interesting contender on her first outing for trainer George Boughey. The well-bred BYSTANDER (4) has also since moved yard since finishing a well-beaten sixth on debut at Redcar in April but he could leave that form well behind. WATH COURT (7) rounds out the shortlist.
