EBTIHAAL is a half-brother to three useful winners including Group 3 winner Puncher Clynch and Jellice Ball, who has been holding her own in Listed races this year over a mile. The Yarmouth fourth can improve past the more-exposed Knight Commander and Prince Of Arran, though the latter ran his best race so far when just touched off in a decent nursery at Doncaster last month. Lady Rocka was second to Pinch A Kiss, who runs in the previous race, here last time but would need more in this.
