Al Mansor was well beaten at Leicester on his debut and the rest make their racecourse debuts. Of those, Alkashaaf is related to a winning handicapper and Dutch Quality cost 280,000gns. Noble Ballad is related to four winners including the useful Haaf A Sixpence and is preferred to the likes of Mac's Kyllachy and Magdalene Fox. But SULTAN BAYBARS is a half-brother to Group 1 winner Termagant and four other winners and Roger Varian’s colt gets the vote to make a winning start.
