Verdict

Razorbill was still beaten five lengths when runner-up at Leicester last time though he cannot be easily dismissed with improvement likely. THEREABOUTS is where Marco Botti's colt finished when fourth over C&D on his debut despite starting a big price. He gets the speculative vote ahead of stablemate Azerodegree and recent Yarmouth third Ascription. Ruwaiyan is a brother to the smart Laaheb and is preferred to fellow newcomer Missouri Belle while the latter's stable companion Manaar has shown little in either of her starts so far.
