Verdict
Harvest Wind and the filly Rely On Me both ran green on the respective debuts at Nottingham and Haydock and should be capable of better but Captain Hawk already looks fully exposed having been beaten in lesser company. Gloriux is quite speedily-bred but we'll nail our colours to fellow newcomer RED GUNNER, who is a son of Oasis Dream and the first foal to race of a mare who finished second in the Nell Gwyn and later ran in both the English and Irish 1,000 Guineas.
