Verdict

SWORD SALUTE was too green to do himself justice on debut, and provided he's learned from that, can improve and get off the mark at the second attempt. Able Tasman looks an interesting newcomer, especially if supported, with Andrew Balding's Nakila Sun another debutant to note.

5	Masar colt who was well backed but proved extremely green when third of 7 at Redcar on debut (7f). He should improve for that experience and is likely to be in the mix. 1st Pick 5 Sword Salute (Usa) Jockey: Rowan Scott Trainer: Charlie Johnston J: Rowan Scott T: Charlie Johnston	100	-	-	-	63%

3	Foaled February 9. €19,000 foal, €46,000 yearling. Australia colt. Closely related to smart 9.5f-16.5f winner Antiquarium and half-brother to 3 winners, including 1m-1¾m winner Grand Scheme and 7f winner Modern Artist. Interesting type for yard who've made a typically fast start with juveniles. 2nd Pick 3 Able Tasman (Ire) Jockey: Jamie Spencer Trainer: Archie Watson J: Jamie Spencer T: Archie Watson	95	-	-	-	15%

7	Foaled April 30. €8,000 yearling, Torquator Tasso colt. Dam unraced sister to useful 7f winner Navarra King out of useful 9f/1¼m winner Navarra Queen. Cheap purchase for one representing an excellent yard, but he makes some appeal on pedigree and has to be high on the shortlist. 3rd Pick 7 Nakila Sun (Ger) Jockey: Jason Watson Trainer: Andrew Balding J: Jason Watson T: Andrew Balding	97	-	-	-	9%
