Formscan By Tom Weekes - LAYFAYETTE is dependable and might take advantage of Al Riffa and Alfred Munning's lack of race-fitness. The selection is vulnerable to a top-level performers but runs to a high level of form and loves conditions. Al Riffa was winter antepost favourite for the Irish 2,000 Guineas following his National Stakes win but met with a setback in May. He has top potential and is entered in many big upcoming races but nonetheless concedes a 5lb penalty reappearing against a race-fit, capable selection. Regally bred Alfred Munnings, a half-brother to wide-margin Oaks winner Snowfall, hasn't run since last year's Chesham Stakes disappointment, when a short-priced favourite. He is also well-entered for the coming weeks but needs to show high-class form to win on reappearance. Mashhoor stepped up from handicap company to win a course Listed race last month but faces a tougher task while Self Belief was beaten five lengths by the selection in April and is 5lb worse off.
