Of those to have run, Emran looks to have the best form on offer. He may well have gone close at Newmarket had he not been denied room at a vital stage. The filly Cameo Role left the impression there was better to come, when a never nearer sixth behind Almaviva at Headquarters. Plenty of improvement can be expected, not only from her, but also from Forest Magic, who shaped with plenty of promise behind Tycoon Hall, in what looked a fair maiden at Newmarket . However, despite the worst of the draw, a chance is taken with the newcomer Admiral Collins, who is a half-brother to Group 1 winner Commander Collins. He still holds an entry in the Racing Post Trohy (a race that his half-brother won), and if he is to take his chance in that he must take this in good style.
