Verdict

Beat The Bank has changed stables since an impressive victory in a maiden over this trip at Dundalk while Time Zone made a very encouraging start over the course and distance in September and has a 2000 Guineas entry. Both will need to step up however as SALSABEEL and Via Egnatia are also engaged in the classic and look smart prospects. The former just gets the vote as he made a successful start at Yarmouth before beaten a short-head in the Listed Flying Scotsman Stakes at Doncaster. John Gosden's charge ended the campaign with a facile victory over a mile here in October and has always looked a better second-season prospect.
