Brian Meehan's Sisindu ran promisingly on his Newmarket debut earlier this month and has claims with the yard's youngsters normally improving for their first start but a much better chance is seemingly held by AUDEN, who looks the one to beat. Mahmood Al Zarooni's colt ran a week later at Newmarket when a close second of 17 runners behind Diamond Penny and a reproduction of that form may well suffice. There are a couple of interesting newcomers in the field in the shape of Luca Cumani's Dubai Destination colt Master Perfect and Mark Johnston's Pivotal colt Raucous Behaviour and any market support for this duo would be of interest. Enlightening looks the pick of Richard Hannon's two runners ahead of Classic Voice but will need to improve dramatically from his first outing to trouble the judge.
