CARIDADI finished a close-up fifth at Haydock last month and that looks the best piece of form on offer. He won't have to improve much on that to come out best in this. Desert Society showed some promise on his introduction at Kempton and is preferred to both Grand Meister and Castle Combe, though the newcomers are all worth noting. Breeding suggests Mountain Kingdom and Glorious Sinndar will be seen to better effect over further but Rookery is a half-brother to Group 2 winner Ransom Note and makes more appeal.
