Verdict

PURSUIT OF LOVE got the better of a subsequent winner (trained by Karl Burke) when scoring impressively on debut and he makes appeal to follow up. Ravenspire looks a good prospect in his own right, though, and could improve markedly from his Southwell success.

1	Sea The Stars colt. Brother to very smart 1¼m-1½m winner Fanny Logan. Continued his yard's fine run with debutants when making a successful start in the style of a useful prospect at Southwell in late-February. That form has been franked and he looks sure to progress. 1st Pick 1 Pursuit Of Love Jockey: William Buick Trainer: Charlie Appleby J: William Buick T: Charlie Appleby	100	-	-	-	72%

2	Hails from a family that has brought plenty of success to connections and looked a good prospect when seeing off Charlie Appleby's Into The Light (entered 4.45 Sandown Friday) to make a successful debut at Southwell. He holds an entry in the Dante and is open to significant improvement. 2nd Pick 2 Ravenspire (Ire) Jockey: Pierre-Louis Jamin Trainer: K. R. Burke J: Pierre-Louis Jamin T: K. R. Burke	96	-	-	-	39%

3	4,300,000 gns Wootton Bassett colt. Dam, 1m-1¼m winner, sister to Oaks winner Was. Showed more than first time up when second in Redcar novice (9f) last October and while it's unlikely he'll justify his price tag, he now tackles a trip more in keeping with his pedigree. Headgear on. 3rd Pick 3 Poker (Ire) Jockey: David Egan Trainer: K. R. Burke J: David Egan T: K. R. Burke	90	-	-	-	13%
