Tabdeed lost his unbeaten record in the Jersey Stakes here in June and hasn’t raced since. Aljady’s winning run came to an end over 7f at Goodwood last time but stablemate Lucky Lucky Man won the Bronze Cup at Ayr a fortnight ago and is 5lb higher today. Flavius Titus and Whinmoor were both narrowly beaten over 7f on their respective latest starts and the less exposed Missy Mischief is preferred having gone close on her handicap debut. But ENCRYPTED (NAP) won a Class 2 sprint before finding only one too good in the Portland at Doncaster last time when finishing in front of Abel Handy and Hugo Palmer’s charge makes most appeal on that form.
