Kazawi has placed form in soft ground but is pretty exposed now and the three-year-old GUILD is preferred. The latter won nicely over an extended 1m3f at Bath in June and is taken to defy a penalty if as effective on the forecast going. Formula One also has strong claims if taking to soft ground having gone close over 1m2f at Newcastle on his debut and is preferred to War Drums, who has switched yards and has been gelded since last year’s debut. Lissitzky is a half-brother to a couple of winners and a newcomer to note.
