R ace Summary

In a competitive contest the marginal preference is for AL JADDAF, who has made the frame in all three of his starts in maiden/novice company. An opening mark of 80 appears fair and he could take plenty of stopping on his nursery debut. Serenity is a progressive filly who has to be respected having got off the mark at Wolverhampton last month. Unspoken is another with valid form claims, while Home City and Neptune Legend complete the shortlist. Win: Al Jaddaf Danger: Serenity
