The hugely-expensive Yale was a major disappointment at the Curragh in August but could be a different proposition here if getting a run from his first reserve spot. FUJAIRA KING has been showing good pace over 7f, including here last week, so dropping back in trip shouldn't be a problem and he could be good enough. Shawaf showed potential in France and has his first start for new connections while Designation hasn't been far away on Turf and this surface could bring about some progress. Tie A Yellowribbon is 0-16 and only ran moderately on her debut here last month.
