CANYARI scored on his racecourse debut at Doncaster last year by five lengths but came undone in the Group 2 July Stakes at Newmarket after that. He's having his first start since and may well be good enough. Wee Jean also made a winning start last season and went close in tough handicaps on the Polytrack at the end of the year. She finished ahead of Scruffy Tramp at Wolverhampton in December while Beau Nash is preferred to Mick's Yer Man on the pick of last year's form.
