None of these inspire much confidence. Medhyaar has returned a losing favourite on her last three starts now and was readily beaten by Cufflink at Wolverhampton last time. Wildomar has been unable to replicate a promising effort at Newmarket back in May and Good Luck Charm is dropped back into maiden company having started favourite in three of his last four starts in handicaps. Flavius Victor is another finding life tough handicapping though Sword In Hand stepped up on a forgettable debut effort to finish third at Newcastle last time and he could figure. TAJAMAL is half-brother to smart stablemate and Champagne Stakes winner Saamidd. He may just be good enough on his debut and gets the tentative vote.
