Neither Aneedah nor Perfect Tribute distinguished themselves on their reappearance in the Fred Darling and are quickly dropped back in distance here. Madany found only Sir Reginald too good in a valuable sales race at Newmarket two weeks ago and should improve for the run, however, while Cape To Rio was third in a handicap over the same C&D on the same day and gets 7lb from stablemate Libranno, who chased home Native Khan in the Craven Stakes on his return to action but had the pace to win three times over this trip as a juvenile. Marine Commando and Murbeh both lost their way a little in the autumn but MARGOT DID managed to maintain her form in Group company throughout last season and Michael Bell's filly would take all the beating here if proving she has trained on.
