DARK TORNADO (2) is evidently highly thought of in view of previous form at G3 level in the 1400m Jersey Stakes at Ascot. Finds a suitable contest to improve first-up for a new yard eased markedly in standard. EXACTLY RIGHT (4) won by a nose a 1600m Southwell AW maiden on latest outing. Lightly raced and can progress. JET PACKER (7) is another stable debutant resuming from a seven-month break. Interesting. ROGUE DIPLOMAT (9) warrants consideration in view of a pair of third-place efforts from two career starts.

Most recently ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at Wolverhampton on March 17 over 1440m, 11 len behind Prince Of India with 64.5kg at $81. The race before that ran last in a small field at Kempton Park All Weather on February 26 over 1200m, 12 len behind Groovy Baby with 59kg at $41. Looking to others.

Is first-up after a break of ten months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation 17th of 19 at Ascot in the G3 Jersey Stakes June 22 over 1400m, 14 len behind Haatem with 58.5kg at $126. Previously first up; third in a small field at York May 17 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Lead Artist carrying 59kg at $11. This is an ideal race to kick off. Great chance.
