PRABENI has been gelded since finishing fourth over 1m2f at Newmarket in May. The first two home have both subsequently won so the form looks solid enough and a first-time tongue-tie should bring further improvement. The superbly-bred Sextant showed signs of both temperament and ability on his recent debut. He unseated in the paddock at Nottingham but went on to finish runner-up and is preferred to Newcastle fourth Lady Baker. Beer With The Boys has plenty to find with the selection on these terms so Lzaaz is preferred of the remainder.
