This seems sure to fall to a major yard and FARRAAJ can build on a splendid debut when just failing to score at Sandown, succumbing in a photo to Archbishop. He's sure to improve and can confirm placings with Surfer, third that day. Endowing showed good progress last time to finish second in a decent Newmarket maiden when seemingly unfancied. The Hannon charge looks another cast-iron improver and looks sure to get involved. She Spirit Di Su showed promise on her Newbury debut too but has a tough task against the colts, whilst it's safe to put a line through Romantic's debut run. He came off worst in a shambles of a tape start at Lingfield and is better than that.
