Donny Marlow is penalised having only won by a nose over track and trip on his debut. Blue Moonrise showed ability at Newcastle on her introduction and is preferred to the other likely improvers Robustly and Big Thanks. But this can go to a newcomer with the speedily-bred MYSTIFY ME making most appeal as a half-sister to stablemate and Group 3 winner Al Raya. Don't Tell Dj is another to keep an eye on.
