Subpoena is the pick over Brecon Beacon, with Industrial Spirit and and Chrysander others to consider. Subpoena was so impressive on his York debut last September that his dismal effort in the Somerville Tattersall Stakes here next time was a mystery to all. The son of Diktat has since moved from Michael Jarvis to the blue of Godolphin, and with the step up in trip to help, he is taken to come good. Brecon Beacon was a creditable fourth in the Horris Hill at Newbury last October, but that was in soft ground, and his two runs this term suggest that he will find conditions too lively today. Industrial Spirit stepped up on his Wood Ditton second to score at Warwick, but has to improve even more to make his mark in this company, while Chrysander, a full-brother to the stable's Najeebon, could develop into a very useful mile handicapper at the very least, but Subpoena was highly thought of last year, and if the ability is in there, the boys in blue will extract it.
