Machine Learner caught the eye on debut at Sandown, where he made late headway into fourth after a tardy start. Tony Curtis is a half-brother to two winners, one of whom won over this trip as a juvenile, while Trust The Man is a half-brother to several winners though is from a yard whose runners generally improve with experience. DALEELAK shaped nicely over 6f at Ripon on his first start. On breeding, he'll relish the extra furlong here and can find the necessary improvement to get off the mark.
