KEYS makes his debut on the Flat with the unusual distinction of having claimed a hat-trick of junior bumpers for Roger Charlton including one on the Polytrack at Lingfield. The half-brother to Group 3 winner Clowance looks sure to be a warm order to take this and he gets the vote. Mulaqen showed promise in both starts over a mile last year and will appreciate the longer trip, while Clarion Call looks capable of better on only his third start. Kyllachy Spirit is related to a winner over hurdles and should stay the extra distance on his comeback, but the remainder are hard to fancy.
