There were some promising signs from BOLD SUITOR on his two AW runs so far and with his trainer in red-hot form at the moment, he is the selection to make a winning handicap debut. Ballyare went close on his handicap debut recently and the extra furlong should be within range to build on that whilst you can put a line through the last run of Ventura Destiny and she was improving rapidly before that.
