        Verdict

        Khamry made a winning return over 7f here last month when beating Isomer, rated 95. But he’ll need to improve again giving so much weight to ETEFAAQ on these terms and the latter is just preferred having been set some stiff tasks last year after winning a novices’ race at Newmarket in June. Chagatai, Towelrads Boy and Initiative return to action having all won last season while Scooter is a half-brother to a host of winners including an Irish 1000 Guineas winner and makes most appeal of the newcomers.
