      In depth

      Verdict

      James McAuley has three of the five entries. Kerosin is comfortably the pick on official ratings and has a Listed contest in France to his credit though that was a long time ago. Strong Force had three runs for Godolphin back in 2016, winning at Chelmsford, though hasn't been seen since that year. Important Message completes the stable trio and he's also won for Godolphin though his latest form has been poor. Sharjah is a regular winner in minor events around here though he has something to find on official figures so it's LIGHT PILLAR who looks the one to be on. A dual winner in France for Andre Fabre, he wasn't beaten far when last of five in a Group 3 at Saint-Cloud and can make a successful debut for new connections.
