JALELA looks the safest proposition having been narrowly beaten in both outings including over a mile here on her earlier debut. Richard Hannon’s filly gets the nod as that looks stronger form than Shaaqaaf’s fourth at Lingfield in October. The latter’s stablemate and newcomer Lightning Mark cost 130,000gns while Voi wasn’t beaten far at Newcastle in February but this is tougher. Quinquereme is the first foal of a winner in France and Deciding Vote was due to run at Yarmouth yesterday.
