MILLENNIAL MOON scored convincingly at Yarmouth when beating a subsequent winner. He can defy a penalty on the strength of that form. Jim Crowley prefers the chance of Bayraq to those of Kitaab with the former placing over track and trip on last month’s debut but the others with experience showed little on their introductions. Gordons Aura hails from an in-form yard and is a newcomer to note.
