In depth

Verdict

Franz Kafka made a winning debut here in 2020 and his close second to Safari Star in a Carnival handicap two years ago is the best form on view, though that was his last run. The Crisfords' also run LATEST GENERATION, placed in three Class 2 handicaps in the UK last summer and will be much better for a run here a month ago. Al Madhar, a dual winner for Richard Hannon, had been racing over 7f before stepping up to this trip here and staying on strongly after leading 1f out. He's up 5lb but should get into contention while Ursa Minor caught the eye over a mile a couple of weeks ago. Ajyaall, a consistent performer for the Haggas yard, and the former Gosden inmate Royal Mews, are both respected on their debuts here.
