With newcomer Universal King making limited appeal the vote goes to Majestic Missile, with Lucayan Beauty rated the main danger. The selection ran a race full of promise on his debut when finding just Oro Verde a short head too good in similar company at Windsor. It is significant that Kieren Fallon takes the ride again as the champion jockey also rode Lucayan Beauty at Ascot last time when fifth in the Albany Stakes at The Royal meeting. Richard Hannon's Eezaa Geezer was well held on his debut but is entitled to strip fitter today while Point Calimere has shown signs of ability in two outings to date but may not appreciate the drop in trip to the minimum from six furlongs. Majestic Missile showed plenty of speed on his debut though and is taken to go one better.
