Verdict

Those with racecourse experience don't set a tall standard to aim for so this could well go to a newcomer, HOUSE OF MEDICI selected to make a winning start before the benefit of market clues. Hozam represents powerful connections and could well be up to making an impact on debut, while this step up in trip should suit Hamda's Joy so she completes the shortlist.
