HOLMESWOOD was narrowly beaten by odds-on favourite Mazyoun, rated 92, over track and trip on his racecourse debut. A street clear of the rest, Michael Dods’ colt is preferred to Omran. The latter also went close on his introduction when runner-up at Doncaster at the start of the month while Atteq will likely improve on his reappearance having finished a modest fifth at Chester back in June. Creek Walk is a half-brother to the useful Huntsmans Close and fellow newcomer La Guapita is related to a couple of winning sprinters.
