Rated 87, Plenary improves with every start and has claims on his latest second at Sandown. But MUNTAHAA is also progressing well and was ahead of a subsequent winner when runner-up at Nottingham last time. He should be winning this if an entry in a Group 2 at Royal Ascot is anything to go by. Alyssa showed some promise when placed in both starts last year and returns to action but Leaping started 66/1 for his debut at Salisbury and ran accordingly. She can only improve in this and better is also expected from Marmelo and Dostoyevsky having both finished down the field in the same race at Newbury last month.
