Verdict

ENFJAAR failed to fire in the Jersey at Royal Ascot but had looked exciting when winning his first 2 starts and is taken to resume his progression on handicap debut. Fellow Shadwell runner Tafreej arrives on the back of a solid run in a strong handicap at the Newmarket July meeting and is second choice ahead of Grant Tuer's Bajan Bandit.

  1. ENFJAAR (IRE)
  2. TAFREEJ (IRE)
  3. BAJAN BANDIT
