Verdict
All the newcomers are of interest, notably Kestrel Call representing the in-form Simon Crisford and Richard Hannon's Suqoor. However, those with form in the book do set a healthy standard, such as Show Legend, who still looked rather green when second in a good-looking Newmarket maiden and St Georges Cross. Nietzsche must be better than he showed last time but DALEELAK is the choice. He improved substantially on his debut run when a length second to Tony Curtis at Epsom, the form of which looks rock solid with the winner having progressed to run a fine race at the July Meeting last weekend when third to Birchwood in the Group 2 Superlative Stakes.
