Indian Tomahawk has gone backwards since the summer and Jacobs Well makes more appeal after a better effort over a mile here with Joseph O'Brien takes over the reins for this. Sgt Rock showed some promise when third on his racecourse debut over track and trip and should figure but a couple of newcomers are of more interest. Shannon Soul is related to winners and worth noting but DUBAI CROWN is a half-brother to the smart Group 2 winner Asfare and John Oxx's colt may well be good enough to come out best.
