In depth
Verdict
More quantity than quality in this, but several possible improvers now that they step into handicap company for the first time. Jarjoor, a 115,000 guinea yearling, has some way to go to repay that price tag, but he starts off on a moderate mark and if there is any hope for him, he will surely have to be involved, while another handicap debutante Voyager, who is a full brother to the high-class sprinter Invincible Spirit and a half-brother to the smart middle-distance performer Sadian, is another who could well have been let in here lightly. A chance is taken with dual All-Weather winner Dubai Dreams, who may enjoy a fitness advantage over his rivals. Oeuf La Neige and Landescent are others to consider in an open contest.
