Hala Joud is stepped up in trip after a frustrating run of placed efforts while stable companion Rock The Barzah has only raced over 6f so far. Another from the yard, My Generation, is related to a couple of useful winners and is one to note on his debut. THRUMPS DREAM couldn't get close enough to the odds-on Lovely Esteem over 7f last month but was staying on strongly at the finish and looks the one to beat with normal improvement. Harayka has a superb pedigree and should be perfectly suited to this trip as should stable companion Empyrea but Burgoo Alley hasn't run since Galway in August and makes her debut on the surface.
