A interesting maiden, with Derby entrants Diocletian, Mekong, House Edge and Stephensons Rocket among the interesting newcomers. A case could also be made out for each of the John Gosden pair Cassini and Crossed Baton on their respective debut efforts but there was a lot to like about the way ZAAJER shaped behind a couple of race-hardened rivals first time out on this track. This extra furlong is sure to work in his favour and he could take some stopping.
