Charlie Appleby has a 40 per cent strike-rate with runners wearing a first-time hood in the past two seasons. His Noble Truth makes his debut at a track where the trainer also has a 30 per cent strike-rate with debutants.

PENDLETON 5.00 Ascot

Michael Dods and Callum Rodriguez operate at an impressive 57 per cent strike-rate at Ascot. They team up with the progressive Pendleton, who will be suited by the slower ground and has form figures of 21 at the track.

IRISH LEGEND 5.35 Ascot
