Verdict

Harrison George has something in hand of Capone on official ratings but there are also a couple of interesting runners from powerful southern yards. Our vote goes to one of those in Eseej. The selection hails from a yard that has a decent strike rate at this venue and the son of Aljabr may be able to improve on the form that he showed in two starts at two. He ran very green on both starts last year but he kept decent company and there's every chance that he'll make up to a better horse this year. Isabella's Fancy is worth monitoring in the market as is Flying Claret's half-sister Celtic Lynn. All In The Red enjoyed little luck on his reappearance and is worth considering but once again the market should tell us plenty and the nomination of Eseej is only nominal.
