A half-brother to a couple of winners, Anglo Irish is worth noting in the betting on his debut, along with fellow newcomer Timeless War. Fine Vintage made an encouraging start when third at Wolverhampton on his introduction and should go close, but AL BUSAYYIR is just preferred. The latter was also placed at the same track last month when attempting to make all and is fancied to come good now he has a couple of runs under his belt. Fractal and Lil Rockerfeller finished practically upsides when both were well beaten here and look others likely to improve.
