Michael Houdalakis two-year-olds are going well; related to 7f winner Dondoyaki; trainer does well here with debutants; there's hope from the pedigree that he has some ability; chance as some good aspects to his profile and the yard is hot at the moment.

From the same family as Big Joe, a winner over 7f; the sire's progeny are not always overly precocious; September foal; warrants respect as some good aspects to his profile.

Went down by just under 3l when third at the first time of asking over 6f at 5-1 30 days ago; entitled to have come on for that run.

Verdict
This looks tight - Brave Act should put up plenty of resistance while Noble Saint isn't out of it. However, DISDAIN is selected here. He appears to be the standout newcomer.
