Race Tip
A G1 Champion Stakes fifth by ROYAL RHYME (2) would hold huge claims on reappearance however is likely to head to Sandown for the G3 Brigadier Gerard Stakes instead. With that in mind ISLE OF JURA (1) is also declared for Sandown but this event is his first preference. May come out on top. The progressive George Scott trained four-year-old completed the Bahrain Triple Crown in March and can kick off his new UK campaign with a success. MUJTABA (4) produced a fine effort among G2 company this time last year. Interesting dropping in distance with first-time blinkers applied. SEA OF ROSES (8) completes the shortlist.
