Bella Bluesky is making her debut on the Flat but won a Musselburgh bumper in March. JEBEL DUKHAN was disappointing on his Turf debut at Doncaster but that form is still superior to the majority of his rivals here. He is now fitted with a visor and can finally get his head in front. Vision Of Victory is interesting having shown ability in both starts to date while Alfayaath made late headway when third at Wolverhampton. Alyara is improving and could also figure.
