Aidan O'Brien is represented in this listed contest by Temple Of Artemis and whilst his horses have always to command the utmost respect, this son of Spinning World might be found out by the quickish ground having only run on a soft surface last term. Mark Johnston has always rated Fight Your Corner highly and he proved last term that he is a potentially high class performer and would be expected to take this en route to a possible tilt at the Derby. Tim Easterby feels Bollin Eric could be the best he's ever handled and the fact that he starts him off here suggests that the horse has continued to please his handler. Him Of Distinction is relatively unexposed and could yet prove to be a good horse whilst the limitations of Mr Sandancer appeared to be exposed in smart company last term. Savannah Bay is no forlorn hope either but Fight Your Corner is the one they all have to beat.
