ARANTES sets the standard with a mark of 78 and found only one too good over 7f here last time. It could pay to stick with Mick Channon's colt as he steps up in trip. Neither Glorious Sinndar nor Sworn Vow made any impression on their respective debuts, but Sbraase ran well at Sandown on his introduction. The latter's stablemate Hallouella is a sister to a Group 2 winner and makes more appeal than Al Busayyir and Can't Change It of the newcomers.
