NEEBRAS sets a decent standard and may be able to deny Richard Hannon a hat-trick in this race by confining Cadeaux Pearl to minor honours with Arabian Star possibly best of the remainder. The selection has recently come under the Godolphin banner having caught the eye on debut for David Lanigan when chasing home the highly regarded Hannon trained Strong Suit at Newbury. Only one of those behind has run since and Major Conquest went on to finish fourth at this track but only beaten half a length in another fair contest and the form is expected to stand the test of time. Richard Hannon will know what Cadeaux Pearl will need to do if the Acclamation colt is going to complete a hat-trick in the race and he certainly looks the part on paper. Arabian Star should improve on his debut but may need further whilst Frankish Dynasty is related to winners and is by Holy Roman Emperor whose progeny have made a good start. Interesting fare but Neebras will be expected to take all the beating.
