Formscan - MALJOOM has only seen the racetrack once since an unlucky fourth here in the St James's Palace at Royal Ascot in 2022, when only beating one rival home in the Joel Stakes at Newmarket last September. It augurs well that the five-year-old is out early in the season and William Haggas' charge is expected to land this en route to bigger targets that lay ahead. Epictetus has conditions to suit based on his Group 3 success at Goodwood last August when claiming the scalp of Nostrum, while Britannia Stakes winner Docklands might not be done improving yet.
