A runner-up on his last three starts, it looks worth taking on Fa'Iz once again here. Qannaas, Royal Prospector and Petrol should all improve on their debut efforts, but a chance is taken that URIAH HEEP is good enough on his debut. He cost 130,000 euros and is related to a couple of winners in France. Lycidas has three winning relatives including a Group 1 winner and he's another newcomer to note along with the 125,000gns Rock Of Gibraltar colt Noble Thought.
