Golden Jeffrey has some decent bumper form but looks to face a very tough task against a raft of three-year-olds from high-powered stables. Amazing Grazing and Cold Shoulder should improve for their respective debuts and Circulation certainly enters calculations on the back of a narrow debut defeat at Salisbury. She was slightly disappointing the last day at Ripon but the bare level of that form too puts her in here with strong credentials. However, NADAITAK has shaped well on both starts for Sir Michael Stoute and looks the one to beat. The Newmarket maestro is highly selective with his northern raids and the son of Teofilo should go very close.
