URCHIN (4) placed third providing initial outing contesting a novice race at this venue over 1600m. Unseen since August and now attempts a longer journey. Expected to challenge. SUN LORD (3) is the pick of the debutants. Bred by Almanzor out of Sous Le Soleil and a half-brother to Listed Crown Prince Cup winner Wootton'sun along with being a full-brother to Listed Derby du Languedoc runner-up The Sheriff. Worth considering. SEA AND SUN (2) is another debutant to consider. Bred by Sea The Moon out of Contrive. Potential. PICARO (6) is a son of Havana Gold on first career appearance. May improve for the run.

Lining up for just third start. At big odds at debut, of 9 at Kempton Park All Weather on March 2 over 2400m, 30 len behind Charles Darnay with 52.5kg at $41. Last start ran last in a small field at Wolverhampton on March 23 over 1900m, 17 len behind Hard To Believe carrying 57kg at $201. More improvement needed to be competitive.
