Jaameh went close over today’s trip at Haydock on his recent reappearance. He should be in the mix once again but SUNBLAZER was also narrowly beaten at Salisbury on his seasonal debut and this looks no tougher. Kim Bailey’s charge is preferred to Snowy Dawn, who is upped in class after scoring at Chelmsford, but Gabrial's King will find this easier than his latest task here. The Otmoor Poet found one too good over 1m4f on his return to the Flat at Windsor but Byron Flyer and Emperor Napoleon look high enough in the weights now.
