A chance is taken on newcomer LAAJOOJ in a terrific maiden. Michael Jarvis' colt is well-related and this 150,000 guineas purchase represents a stable that can get a horse ready on debut. Jaridh is fitted with cheek-pieces for the first time after two Wolverhampton runs, however Splash Point may be the more interesting Godolphin contender after running well here last month. This surface may suit Zain Shamardal more than the soft ground at Salisbury, whilst Sultah is the chosen mount of Richard Hills which is intriguing given his owner also has the $650,000 purchase Failasoof making his debut. Deny is learning, and along with the filly Ebtihaj is considered in a fine race.
