Frankie Dettori partnered JEWEL HOUSE when runner-up at Windsor in October. Back over 7f today, the Gosden colt is preferred to Newbury runner-up, Natajack, who steps up in trip. Aelius drops in class for his return having posted a couple of modest efforts at York last year while Benbatl is the first foal of the Group 1 winner Nahrain and the Godolphin colt makes more appeal than fellow newcomer Bob Maxwell.
