Fabled City showed some progress to finish third at Newbury last month and Infinite Jest ran well for a long way before fading in the closing stages of his debut at HQ. The remainder with experience, including Welsh Bard, have looked a modest bunch so far and this can go to one of the principal newcomers. Cape Joy is one of those as she's related to five winners, but RASSAM makes more appeal. He cost 150,000gns, is a half-brother to a Listed winner and Saeed Bin Suroor's team remain in fine form.
