Verdict
Pedigree suggests this extra furlong won’t be a problem for Star Of Orion, a winner over 6f at Newmarket on his debut, but today’s penalty might be and JADOOMI is preferred. The latter finished a respectable third behind subsequent Group 2 runner-up Devious Company over today’s trip at Haydock and normal progress should see him go close for a yard in flying form. Newcomers to note include the Richard Fahey pair, Gorytus and Seasett, while Possible Ambition is a half-brother to a couple of winners but Ridgeway Avenue is a full-brother to the high-class Hawkbill among others and makes more appeal.
