ORGETORIX is penalised for winning at York but he beat a subsequent winner on that occasion and should make another bold bid. Deputy’s debut second at Thirsk in June hasn’t worked out well and Qaasid was still beaten a long way when third at Chelmsford. Vitruve may well improve though needs to but Oz Legend is a full brother to a Group 3 winner so preferred to Najeeba of the newcomers.
