The Aga Khan-owned KARASI can build on a couple of promising runs in August and get off the mark at the third time of asking for the inform yard of Mick Halfords. Beaten favourite last time out, Royal Court for trainer Joseph O'Brien and potential improver Vivacious Spirit from the Gordon Elliott yard can emerge as the biggest dangers in this tight two-year-old contest. The Ger Lyons-trained Tallien should not be taken lightly.
