Boyhood showed a good turn of foot to score on his second start at Musselburgh and should go well under his penalty while Safe Harbour is worth a market check. But most eyes will be on KALANISI CIRCLE, who is a full brother to his trainer's top-class bumper and hurdler Barters Hill and will win races if inheriting a fraction of his sibling's ability.
