An excellent renewal but OBJECT impressed on his second start when scoring cosily at Newmarket and can take another major step forward. Taj Alriyadh, Eidikos and Melayu Kingdom all arrive unbeaten and must be taken seriously, and it will be interesting to see if there's any money for the latter who hasn't been seen since his impressive debut in April. Hellomydarlin, Atomic Lady and Wonderful World are more exposed but have the form in the book and also have claims in a wide-open contest.
