A very interesting opener can go the way of LOVING THOUGHT. The switch to turf and this shorter trip can see Henry Cecil's charge, who put up a pleasing debut at Kempton over 7f, come good. Question Times is another dropped in distance and he has some very solid form in two runs to date, so has to be feared and the same applies to Desert Law, who has claims now reverting to a maiden after a Group 2 tilt last time. Jinky will be a tough nut to crack after a good Listed run last time at Redcar but is building a vulnerable profile, while Trojan Nights is from good stock and may prove best of the newcomers.
