Not a strong race and John Gosden's Mujarad, visored for the first time, ought to be able to go close. Disappointing on his return this year, he showed enough promise at two to suggest a race of this nature is not beyond him. Interestingly, he has yet to race on a sound surface, so that too could bring improvement, although a slight concern are the shades. Of the others, Julian Ronjoyles has shown promise in both starts so far so might be worth keeping an eye on. Miss Mirage is likely to prove better than her Chester run in time. Heraclea showed promise on her debut, and so did Fleeting Moon on her first racecourse run, which came on the all-weather. Vandal should probably improve for his Yarmouth experience, but that did not look a strong contest. Gunnhildr would be interesting if the market speaks in her favour.
