Estidhkaar has been campaigned at the highest level and won a couple of Group 2 races as a juvenile. But he returns from injury here and may not be much of a price. Richard Hannon also runs Kool Kompany, who is useful, but we'll side with CRAZY HORSE. Not seen since finishing sixth in the French 2,000 Guineas at Deauville in May, he is still unexposed and won the Horris Hill on good to soft a year ago. Absolutely So has failed to hit top form this year while Calder Prince has had his limitations exposed but Baron Bolt and Roll On Rory are still improving, though have plenty to find on these terms.
