Nautical Haven has progressed in his two outings but will need to do so again as he was comfortably seen off at Chester last time, although he should be in the firing line as this may prove a slightly weaker race. Hersigh has to be included in calculations as a Godolphin debutant and the market should prove an instructive guide to her chance first time up, but William Haggas not only has an excellent course record on the Knavesmire but also an especially impressive juvenile strike rate - nearly 30 per cent in the last five years - and BATTERED can enhance those figures further. Green on debut over course and distance, he was only beaten less than three lengths by the useful Timeless Flight and looks sure to benefit considerably from the experience for a yard in fine form. Eltanin shaped well here on debut and has place claims.
