STARTLING proved a different proposition when making a winning nursery debut over C&D 9 days ago and, appealing as the type who can go on improving, all looks set fair for another bold showing from David O’Meara’s filly.

ECCLESIASTICAL was successful here off a 1lb higher mark last November and his turn appears to be again near judged on a recent near miss at Ayr where he was beaten just 1/2-length into third, despite failing to fully settle. Gustav Graves has slipped to an attractive mark, too, and he is feared most ahead of the in-form Aces Wild The Michael Dods-trained duo Darlo Pride and Nelson Gay are also worthy of consideration.
