In depth

Verdict

Alrajaa should give a boost to ALUQAIR’S Salisbury win in the previous race and Simon Crisford’s three-year-old has the scope to go on to better things. Graphite Storm rarely disappoints and won at Newmarket on his penultimate start so rates a danger while Bungee Jump is a course and distance winner despite racing over 6f lately. I Am A Dreamer seems to pop up when least expected while Sir Roderic makes most appeal of the two Rod Millman runners.
