A competitive race where six of the nine won last time out. LONDON CITY (1) is a well-bred son of Justify. Always looked to be doing enough up front when getting off the mark in a 1m2 1/2f maiden at Dundalk during April. The Aidan O'Brien trained colt could improve tackling 1m4f and this opening mark may underestimate his ability. PALACE GREEN (3) won a 1m2f novice event at Kempton on reappearance and cannot be ignored now handicapping. Fellow handicap debutant COOL LEGEND (6) appreciated the 1m3f trip when landing a maiden at the same venue in December. All-the-way Ripon maiden winner TOKYO BAY (8) will likely have more to give though might need the rain to arrive.
