MAJBOOR found only Crimson Rosette, rated 78, too good in maiden company at Windsor last time. He should be in the firing-line once again on that form and should also have the measure of Michigan and Nevalyashka with one of the newcomers perhaps posing a bigger threat. Of those, Ed Dunlop runs the 420,000gns purchase Sanam and stablemate Lunar Mist, who is related to five winners, while Monsieur Bay is preferred to Frown of the remainder.
