OTTOMAN COURT has been a short-priced favourite in both starts to date. He was disappointing on debut but came up against the Group-placed Visinari next time at Newmarket and should it make it third-time lucky if staying the extra furlong. Ziggle Pops also placed over 6f at HQ last time and looks the pick of the two Hannon runners while there are several newcomers that catch the eye on breeding. Quadrilateral is a Frankel filly who is a half-sister to two winners while William Haggas knows the family of the Australia colt Convict having trained his dam. Quickstep Lady is also by Australia and is a half-sister to Group 3 winner Dancing Star among others.
