This will take little winning and it would come as no surprise if any of the newcomers, such as Regal Lilly, Aegeus or Haadef, proved good enough. The former makes most appeal on pedigree and her yard have a good record at this track with this age group. Nahham is an expensive purchase who made a winning debut in a poor race and he looks vulnerable under his penalty. SASSOON has ordinary form to date but it may still be good enough to land this given he looked green last year and he has the benefit of a recent run.
