Looked good when making a winning debut in a 5f Newmarket novice last spring. Has to be a slight concern that he hasn't been seen since but market confidence would look significant for his very powerful yard. Entered in the Commonwealth Cup.

Fair form at best for Ralph Beckett at 2 and will surely have his work cut out against this opposition on his return for a new stable.

Yet to win but he has quite useful form. Respectable reappearance sixth of 13 in a strong Thirsk sprint handicap 15 days ago. Unlikely to be far away.

Verdict

An interesting race. TAJALLA hasn't been seen since his debut win a year ago but his entry in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup suggests connections are hopeful he can make up for lost time so he's preferred to fellow debut scorer Silent Words. Northcliff is much more exposed than the aforementioned pair but also has the form to be bang there.
