KING OF JAZZ finished third behind stablemate and subsequent Richmond Stakes winner Libranno on his latest start in May last year. If he's retained his ability, than Richard Hannon's colt looks the one to beat on his reappearance. Early Applause was placed in a decent nursery here in September and has to come into the reckoning, along with Cultural Desert who showed promise in a couple of maidens at Newmarket at the backend of last season. Blink Of An Eye can boast more recent form as he finished a good second to Cool Macavity at Lingfield on last month's debut and improvement is expected.
