SAFARJAL looks the safest option. She was beaten just over two lengths in the Cheshire Oaks earlier this month and this looks a good opportunity for her to open her account. Rule Book ran well for a long way on his debut in slow ground at Newbury and makes more appeal than Hunt A Mistress, who showed little improvement on her earlier effort when sixth at Salisbury last time. Glittering Gold is likely improve for the longer trip having failed to figure on his debut at Newmarket but the remainder look up against it.
