Following a decisive win on last year's reappearance, JASOUR was campaigned exclusively in Group 1 company and having had a breathing operation, he's sure to be well prepared for this return. He can make the most of this drop in grade, probably at the chief expense of No Half Measures, though Leovanni is something of an unknown quantity as a high-achieving juvenile last season getting weight all round here.
