Awsaal, Ebony Boom and Joseph Lister catch the eye, with AWSAAL boasting the best form and taken to collect. Joseph Lister hails from the John Gosden camp, and his three-year-olds have been going well. By Nayef, the trip should not be a problem and any market confidence should be heeded as this does not appear to be a strong contest. Ebony Boom has been placed on several occasions, and though he was sent off favourite last time, he was readily outpointed. Though fitter today, he looks one paced and is opposed. Awsaal was well beaten on his debut, but John Dunlop's runner was well supported when a close third at Headquarters at the Craven meeting. That was a fine effort and leaves him well clear on the form book. Awsaal gets a confident vote and can get off the mark.
