    Verdict

    We will opt for Crimson Sun here ahead of Yajbill. The form of Yajbill's debut second at York looks pretty good so it would be no surprise to see him go well. King Forever was fifth behind the well-regarded Belenus last time, which is decent form, but Kings Quay was put in his place at Royal Ascot after winning nicely on his debut. Crimson Sun bypassed Royal Ascot after winning at Doncaster but this well-regarded colt ought to make his presence felt here. It's a fairly close call this but, despite the form of his win not really having worked out, we'll stick with him to confirm the impression of that success today.
