AJMAN KING is making a belated reappearance but that shouldn’t be a problem. He wasn’t beaten far in a Nottingham maiden in October last year and has a nice pedigree. Italian Heiress possibly found 1m4f too far last time at Ascot and has solid claims on earlier placed efforts. Tranquil Star is improving while Eastern was going on at the finish when fourth over a mile at Bath. Hyperloop has mainly raced on the all-weather so far but he was second at Windsor in July and has yet to finish out of the frame so can’t be ignored. Clemento, however, is looking very one paced.
