Noble Silk made a promising debut over 6f at York last July and didn't reappear until last month where he ran well over a mile at Pontefract. His pedigree screams middle-distances and he'll have benefited for that run. Medici Music is a half-brother to the Group 2 winner Alkhaadem and this trip should be his optimum. He became outpaced over a mile at Nottingham before staying on and it will be a surprise if he's not involved in the finish here. WHITE NILE, a very expensive son of Galileo, went to Newmarket for a 1m4f maiden in June and really caught the eye, staying on after being held up. It's a surprise to see him dropping back in trip but he has the scope to go on to better things and is handed the vote.
