However, his 7lb penalty might open the door for SHAHIK. The son of Showcasing changed hands for 120,000gns as a yearling and is a half-brother to a useful performer in Genealogy, so it would be no surprise to see him make an instant impression. Any market confidence behind fellow newcomer Wield would be interesting. This is usually a very good race and the Balding yard won it last year with Royal Playwright who went on to be second in the Royal Lodge (Group 2). They field Wield on debut this time, a half-brother to the Irish Champion Stakes fifth Headman and he has to be taken very seriously. The standard though is set by A BIT OF SPIRIT who impressed when coming clear with a useful Godolphin colt to win on his debut and he is probably good enough to win an average renewal of this and is certainly a tall order for a debutant to beat. The other raced pair look to have a great deal to find so third best may be newcomer Shahik whose dam was third in the Princess Margaret (Group 3) as a 2yo.
