Envisage looks the pick of the Godolphin duo and the mount of Kerrin McEvoy gets the nod ahead of stablemate Dustoori and Night Hour. A winner of his sole start at Nottingham, the selection now takes a step up in trip. That looks ideal given the way that he finished his first race and this 250,000 guineas son of Singspiel could just be a class above. Stablemate Dustoori has more experience and having ground out a win at Goodwood, he should go very well despite a 5lb rise in the weights. He is yet to race on ground faster than good but if the going stays as it is then he must rate a threat. John Terry is fairly exposed but he is capable on his day. Another one who is not too reliable is Dancing Lyra, whilst Ryan's Future has been lightly-raced in recent seasons but should strip fitter for his recent outing. Eglevski is consistent but he tends to find at least one too good, which explains his win ratio of one in ten. At a price Bandam could go well, however this could be between the 'Boys In Blue' and the nod goes to Envisage.
