Most of these have entries in the remaining leading juvenile races so the betting may provide some useful pointers. Majoris came up short in the Group 3 Solario last time and Bacchus was beaten in a handicap on his latest start. But Rodaini remains unbeaten after landing a nursery at Newmarket and Senator also kept his unbeaten record intact by winning a novice event at Carlisle under a penalty. Taamol, Larchmont Lad and SALSABEEL all made winning debuts over 7f with the latter pair both beating a couple of subsequent winners on their respective starts at Sandown and Yarmouth. The Godolphin colt gave the impression he would benefit most from that experience and gets a speculative vote to find the biggest improvement in a tough race to call.
