57,000 gns 2-y-o. Half-brother to 7f winner Winning Together. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart 6f winner Hitchens and smart 6f winner Tanzeel. Betting should guide to expectations.

Iffraaj gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 9.5f Local Time out of useful winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 7f winner) Marie de Medici. Perhaps best watched unless betting hints otherwise.

5/2, better than result when down field on 7f Newbury debut, fading after showing speed. 6f could suit on that evidence and very interesting to see how she compares in betting to Skyrunner.

Forecasts

Hello Zabeel (11/8), Rogue Bear (5/2), Skyrunner (11/4), General Sago (5/1), Maajdah (15/2), Abu Malek (16/1), Dulla Bhatti (25/1), Ironside (33/1), Caprese Girl (80/1), Keepherlit (80/1), Val De Travers (80/1), Little Muddy (150/1), Raffles Rebel (200/1)

Verdict

The shorter trip asks a different question of SKYRUNNER but he's made a good start for his top stable and may be capable of defying the penalty. Hello Zabeel can build on his opening effort here and play a prominent role again, while the selection's stablemate Maajdah was better than the result on her debut and could easily leave that run well behind.

  2. HELLO ZABEEL (IRE)
  3. MAAJDAH (IRE)
