INVOLVEMENT returned an impressive winner at Redcar on his debut and may well shrug off a penalty in this. Daarkom was unfancied in the betting at Newmarket on his debut and ran accordingly while the newcomer El Zoud is a brother to a winner in France and a half-brother to a Group 3 winner. Heat Of Passion is a half-sister to a couple of Group 1 winners in Hong Kong while Power Shot is another to note.
