ARLECCHINO’S GIFT has the most recent winning form with a victory at Windsor in June. He went close over track and trip last time, with Jumira Bridge well behind, and gets the vote. The latter won a division of this last season and can figure again while Bluebells Boy landed a maiden here at the end of last year. Lady Gazelle may do better back over this shorter trip and is preferred of the rest.
