Verdict

RISING TIGER finished ahead of a trio of next-time-out winners on debut and found only by a potentially smart one too good at Ascot, so looks the one to beat. Bullrider made a promising start when second at Epsom and is next best ahead of Roosike in what is a thin novice.

4	40,000 gns foal, £50,000 yearling, €30,000 2-y-o, Blackbeard colt. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart winner up to 6f Art Connoisseur. Showed promise when second in Epsom maiden, green final 1f. Third has since boosted the form so needs considering. 2nd Pick 4 Bullrider (Ire) Jockey: Billy Loughnane Trainer: George Boughey J: Billy Loughnane T: George Boughey	94	-	-	-	25%	3/1

9	Sioux Nation filly who proved easy to back but she showed ability when third in 5-runner Newbury novice. Failed to build on that at Wolverhampton but was probably unsuited by the shorter trip and also very considerately handled once the winner had left her behind. 3rd Pick 9 Roosike (Ire) Jockey: Donagh Murphy Trainer: Richard Hughes J: Donagh Murphy T: Richard Hughes	91	-	-	-	19%	9/2
