Tremor is penalised for winning a maiden at Nottingham and though he may still have the measure of Glaer, the latter’s stablemate NASRAAWY may prove a tougher proposition. The Kitten’s Joy newcomer cost $725,000 as a brother to a stakes winner in the US and is taken to make a winning debut. Russian Virtue is related to winners and partnered by Ryan Moore while Ozgood is a half-brother to four winners and could go well. Cosa Orga may do better on his second start after wind surgery but Southern Dancer will need to improve on last year’s form to figure.
