In depth
Verdict
A number of these are potentially well treated including Hot Rod Mamma, who is Graham Lee's first ride on the Flat since he turned his back on the National Hunt scene. Hold-up horse Kiwi Bay may meet traffic problems from stall two but Prime Exhibit is drawn out wide and deserves a change of luck after solid efforts at Wolverhampton and Musselburgh. Sam Nombulist will appreciate the easier surface after finding conditions too quick at Doncaster but we fancy TARIQ TOO to continue last season's improvement and make a winning reappearance, though Dubai Dynamo is starting to come down the weights again and shouldn't be ignored after a decent run in the Spring Mile while Captain Dimitrios couldn't be in better form.
