Verdict
Charlie Appleby sent out last year's winner and runs two with jockey bookings pointing to HIBOU, who is related to five winners including the prolific Alexandros and is preferred to stablemate Bochart. Nietzsche is a half-brother to eight winners and the Cape Cross colt Aleko is related to the 104-rated Manassas. The above make more appeal than fellow newcomers Menai and Phantom Flipper but Haughmond ran well at Newmarket on his debut and can figure with normal progress.
