Iguazu Falls is taken to score here over Bronze Cannon and Charmel's Lad. The selection shaped with plenty of promise on his debut at York when he finished second behind Moynahan. He ran quite green that day but he was getting the hang of things towards the end of the race, and with that experience under his belt he should prove tough to beat here. Bronze Cannon has to be respected as John Gosden has a good strike-rate with his 2-year-olds this season and he is certainly worth noting in the market on his racecourse bow. Charmel's Lad ran well considering he was slowly away on his debut at Lingfield. He should be capable of better today, but the simple fact is that Iguazu Falls sets a decent benchmark for the rest here and he should prove tough to beat.
