Halfsin looks to be just about the form pick in a maiden that his yard took with the top class Gitano Hernando two years ago but a chance is taken with JAMR who represents the yard responsible for last year's winner. Saeed bin Suroor's strike rate with his juveniles at Dunstall Park is better than one in three and this Derby entry may be able to make a winning start to his career. For What also has an entry in Epsom's Blue Riband event and is related to the useful Seeking The Buck as well as a prolific winning sprinter in the States so he's another well worth noting. Oversteer may improve for the fitting of headgear whilst the market can guide to a raft of once raced individuals from top yards who could all conceivably improve sufficiently to take a hand with Derby entry Samarkand arguably the most interesting.
