Verdict
Leicester runner-up Lady Willpower is getting closer but is one of the more exposed in the field and AL ASEF is taken to improve past her. There was some cut in the ground when the latter finished third at Nottingham on his debut and that looks stronger form than Hidden Affair’s debut fifth at Salisbury back in July. Of the newcomers, Any Little Rhyme is a sister to the useful Frontispiece, Yajooll is related to winners and Raid is a half-brother to Group 3 winner Grendisar among others.
