It will be interesting to see how Sailor At Sea performs on his debut but Roger Charlton's colt faces no easy task against Major Eazy and Magical Speedfit, with the first mentioned of that duo taken to confirm Royal Ascot form. The selection only went down by two-and-a half lengths when seventh behind Drawnfromthepast in the Windsor Castle, with Magical Speedfit a further five lengths behind in 16th place and he is taken to gain ample compensation here. Gary Moore's Art Sale showed promise on his Goodwood debut but this looks tougher, while Mick Channon's Lady of Passion is bred to be useful being a sister to Trafalgar Bay but faces no easy task on her debut. This should not take too much winning and Major Eazy is taken to open his account.
