Safarjal comes out ahead of Falkland and Ty Gwr, who also have official ratings, and sets the standard on her earlier fifth in the Cheshire Oaks. She made a mess of a similar opportunity last time, however, and TIGER CLIFF is taken to improve past her. Sir Henry Cecil's colt shaped well enough when second on his debut at Lingfield when sent off favourite and a big improvement is expected here. Openly could figure on his first start since May but Inqadh has a bit to find on last year's form if he's to get involved on his belated reappearance.
