Verdict
Both Cornrow and Dawn Calling featured towards the head of the betting on their respective debuts but were well beaten while Intrinsic and Semai were even less impressive on their introductions. MAGIC HURRICANE fared better at Newmarket when finishing ahead of The Best Doctor and James Fanshawe's charge looks to have the most obvious chance of opening his account. Bejeweled has a shout on her earlier effort at Yarmouth and La Belle Epoque ran well on last year's debut while the Godolphin newcomer West Riding is worth noting in the betting.
