ORCZY found only the favourite Shimmering too good over track and trip in December and the latter took part in last week’s 1000 Guineas. That looks strong enough form to land this and he has the beating of Blessed on these terms. Better is expected from Raajin this year having run well for a long way at Kempton on his debut while Artillery is another likely improver and the Haggas filly Naked Lass is a newcomer to note despite fitted with a tongue-tie.
