The New Marwan didn’t do a lot wrong after his debut last year and has been gelded but others are less exposed. Martyn Meade has acquired TADREEJ from Godolphin and the Mukhadram filly was an unlucky loser over 7f here last year. She won later at Chelmsford and the step up to a mile should suit. Fruition won on Polytrack in the autumn and is worth another try on Turf while Diyari starts off in handicaps on a feasible mark. Campari was improving with experience last year but Impatient may be best of the all-weather.
