Verdict
Ajaadat finished runner-up on the Turf course at Lingfield a fortnight ago but was less than a length in front of Heart Of Africa. That pair are hard to separate so the vote goes to KELLY'S FINEST, beaten only a length over track and trip last month by subsequent nursery winner Natural Charm. Willow Creek should also be thereabouts and Yorkindred Spirit is a Sea The Stars newcomer worth a second glance.
