Drakefell showed ability over 5f on his debut while George Of Hearts ran well for fourth over 6f here recently. Is It Off found only one too good in soft ground at Goodwood on his introduction while No More Thrills was placed at Kempton on her first start and is preferred to the more exposed Picture No Sound. But none of the above stand out and a speculative vote goes to the 400,000 euros purchase JAHAAFEL to make a winning start given William Haggas’ yard has been firing-in the two-year-old winners in the last week or so. Ballyquin and Salute The Soldier are other newcomers to note.
