2.75 ILZA'EEM (FR); 4.00 ROYAL FLEET; 4.50 JAAFEL (IRE); 8.00 TWILIGHT MADNESS; 10.00 LOWNDES SQUARE (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.
Ilza'eem arguably sets the standard having finished second on his debut over C&D, and he is entitled to improve for it. That said, a chance can be taken with ROYAL FLEET, who lacks race experience but he is a half-brother to the 6f Group 3 winner Royal Crusade. Charlie Appleby took this 12 months ago and his subsequent Group 2 winner Zakouski scored in a division of the race the year before. Jaafel has solid form claims, while any market support for Neenee's Choice would have to be noted.
