Demonstrate, who found six-furlongs too sharp last time, will appreaciate a return to this trip, but he looks up against it giving weight away to what look a couple of decent three-year-olds. Birjand, ran well enough on her debut to warrant respect, but the vote goes to Alqhutub, who found Hero's Journey too good at Newbury. War Valor, may do better in handicaps, but the newcomer Grandilla, who holds an entry in the Coronation stakes at the Royal meeting, could prove troublesome if fully would up.
