Verdict
Large fields are the order of the day, which makes winner finding no easier. Richard Hannon, who had five entered in this relies on Pigeon Point. The filly has shown more than enough to suggest she should win a little race, but she may find the ground has gone against her, while the only other one to have run who is worthy of a mention is Masaader, who can be expected to have come on for her debut at Yarmouth. A half-sister to the high-class sprinter Hayil, she should be well suited to this trip, although the soft ground is an unknown. Of the newcomers Jagger, who is out of an Unfuwain mare who won 10 races, will appreciate underfoot conditions and he looks sure to go well. Others to note include Gravia, who is a half-sister to the useful stayer Seliana, and Michael Jarvis' pair Dragon Prince, who is from the same family as Storming Home and Etoile Solitaire, who is a half-brother to a winner in the States. However, a chance is taken with Muwajaha, who is a half-sister to five winners and is the stables selected runner from from four entries.
