Lajjah wouldn't need to be anything special to make a winning debut and fellow newcomer Equillinsky could also be interesting. Most Tempting was placed three times last year but seems better suited by 6f. Hurricane Alert, on the other hand, may appreciate dropping back to the minimum after his third at Brighton. STOCKING (NAP) got no sort of a run in a handicap at Windsor last month but still finished ahead of O Dee. Roger Varian's filly can recoup losses here.
