China Club continues to find a way of getting beat and finished runner-up again over track and trip last time with DOUBLE HEAVEN a couple of lengths behind. The latter is taken to make up that deficit with improvement expected on only his second start. There was little between Royal Roslea and Suffolk Sky when both were well beaten at Kempton and the latter's stablemate and newcomer Safira Menina makes more appeal as a half-sister to four winners. Pharmaceutical is another debutant to note given he can include some smart performers among his winning relatives including Breeders' Cup Turf hero Red Rocks.
