Prince Alzain was clear of the rest when beaten only a length in fourth place at Windsor last month, while Sparkling Portrait made a promising debut when third at Musselburgh and is expected to improve on that here. That duo look the best of those with experience as Watheeq and Discern have shown little so far and Gabrial's Layla will do well to add to her stable's excellent record in this race. Lord Nandi is related to four winners and should be noted on his debut, but a chance is taken on fellow newcomer DARTFORD, whose winning half-brothers include an all-weather winner and the Listed scorer Imperial Pippin.
