In depth

Verdict

In a race that lacks strength in depth, Jihaaz gets the call, with Wild Fell Hall and Macorville rated as potentially his biggest dangers. From the Barry Hills yard, the well-bred Jihaaz has shown enough to be high on the list of probables here, and his breeding suggests the going should not be a big problem. Having achieved a rating in the high 70s, Macorville, who has shown that he can go on good to soft, also rates as a major player. Weet For Ever gets a mention in what is, overall, a modest race, while Wild Fell Hall went into our notebooks on his debut, although he failed to build on it next time - on soft going. Having cost 48,000 guineas, the James Fanshawe-trained Lady Galadriel has to be given some thought. Finally, Decree Nisi showed on his debut that he can handle soft and he could be good for a place at least, although the bare form needs to be built upon. All of which returns us to the selection, which is Jihaaz.
