Varzi

The suggestion before any market clues are known is Karl Burke newcomer VARZI, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Richard Hannon won this with a newcomer last year and his Cut A Dash is another likely type on paper. Spectacular Diver, the only runner with experience, showed up well at Pontefract and should also have a say.

Foaled April 12. Persian Force colt who was acquired for £56,000 at the breeze-ups last month. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Blue Marina. Yard more than capable of readying one. The market should provide more clues.

Foaled February 25. £70,000 breeze-up purchase by Mehmas. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6.5f winner Star of Brittany and 2-y-o 1m winner Wittelsbach, both in France. The betting should guide to expectations for a stable better known for its jumping exploits so far.
