Juror ran a race full of promise when chasing home the useful Suzy Bliss at Sandown in August and a reproduction of that form should be good enough to see him go one better here in a race where the main dangers look to be Captain Xaar and Tranos. The last mentioned is an interesting newcomer by Barathea from the yard of Luca Cumani that can do little wrong at present and he would have to be of interest particularly if the market spoke in his favour. Sir Mark Prescott saddles a half-brother to Abundant in Plush, who could be useful although the yard's horses tend to improve with racing. Bacharach has shown only a modicum of ability so far and of more interest may be Captain Xaar from the in-form James Fanshawe stable. He stepped up on his debut effort when chasing home Mary Delaney at Lingfield on his reappearance and has to be respected but Juror has an obvious chance and is hard to oppose.
