Saeed Bin Suroor's Al Aasifh made a pleasing debut at Newmarket last month and has to be respected following that performance but a doubt remains over the general form of the yard's runners and a better bet may be ELUSIVITY, who can give Richard Hannon another juvenile winner with the main danger rated as Cotton Spirit. Richard Fahey's son of Araafa makes his debut today but the stable have their horses in good from so lack of a previous run need not be of concern and he has to be considered. Mick Channon's Falkland Flyer made a pleasing debut at Bath earlier this month when third behind Black Moth and he should have learned from that effort so makes more appeal than the David Evans-trained Fred Willetts, who has had the benefit of having had three runs already but is becoming expensive to follow. The vote though goes the way of another newcomer, Richard Hannon's Elusivity, who is well bred being by Elusive City and represents a yard that can do little wrong with their two-year-olds this term.
