Henry Cecil has his string in good form right now so Capital Attraction has to be respected on his reappearance having run with some promise on his only previous outing when a fair fourth of 14 behind Botanist at Leicester in October but marginal preference is for Jeremy Noseda's AZIMUTH, who gets the vote ahead of Ulzana. Sir Mark Prescott's gelding ran a promising third behind Awesome Surprise in a Wolverhampton maiden in September and he has to be respected but the four-year-old may struggle against the classic generation. David Simcock's Kyllachy colt Tariq Too makes his debut today and cannot be ruled out but a bigger threat is likely to come from Break Serve. Walter Swinburn's colt ran better than expected when a close fourth, beaten under two lengths, behind Signor Verdi in a Kempton maiden last month and he has solid claims but marginal preference is for Azimuth. Jeremy Noseda's colt lost no caste in defeat behind Eton Forever at Kempton earlier this month and he can build on that and open his account.
