Illustrious Blue and Sciatin probably have the best form of those to have raced previously but this is likely to go to one of the newcomers with Taminos Love marginally preferred to Estiqraar. The last mentioned is a son of Alhaarth, trained by John Dunlop, who is capable of producing a two-year-old to win first time out but the stable's youngsters normally improve with racing. Illustrious Blue showed promise on his Folkestone debut but this looks tougher and of more interest may be Luca Cumani's Sciatin, who ran promisingly here first time out. The Willie Jarvis-trained Mataram is entitled to improve for his first run but needs to, while Charles Street Lad has shown only limited ability in two starts so far. Peter Chapple-Hyam's Demon Docker is related to several winners but it will be a surprise if he is good enough to win this on his debut and preference is for Sir Michael Stoute's Taminos Love, who has a nice pedigree and may be good enough to make a winning debut.
