Ujagar and Zamra have been going well of late but all their form figures derive from artificial surfaces and this will represent a significantly different challenge for both. Both look best watched for now. Blue Atlantic shaped well in four juvenile starts and begins the new campaign off an acceptable mark but LOCH MA NAIRE houses a similar profile and the daughter of Galileo just shades the vote. She seems certain to relish the step up to 1m4f and looks just the sort to leave her juvenile form behind this term off a feasible handicap mark.
