RODAINI lost his unbeaten record when stumbling badly and eased down at Newmarket last time. A Listed winner at Doncaster before that, a bold bid is expected with normal luck in-running and he can reverse Newmarket form with Law And Order, Sea Fox and Pleaseletmewin. Executive Force also has strong claims on his second in a Listed contest at Dundalk but Eaton Square will need to step up on his placed effort in a conditions race at Sandown and Silver Line has not progressed as expected. A host of maiden winners are upped in class with Colibri the most visually impressive when dotting up at Brighton, though Sultan Baybars, City Of Joy, Musawaat and The Grape Escape are others to consider.
