William Haggas has trained two of the last three winners and ISTANBUL BEY (NAP) has the best form on offer. He found only one too good over a mile at Leicester last time and this longer trip should suit. Jasper Jay ran well enough in testing ground here on his debut but was tailed off at Ripon last time so a newcomer may prove a bigger threat. Of those, Miss Galidora is a half-sister to the high-class Clodovil among others and makes more appeal than 100,000gns purchase Dubawi Hundred.
