In depth

Verdict

Top The Charts has claims on the pick of his form but Richard Hannon's colt is proving to be expensive to follow and preference is for Jalwada, who is preferred to Sir Michael Stoute's pair Thunder Rock and Bold Eagle, with Haddaaf rated the best of the rest. The selection made a promising debut when chasing home Bahar Shumaal, with an 80-rated runner behind in third place, in a course and distance maiden last month and with improvement to come, she may be good enough to go one better. Thunder Rock is a nicely bred newcomer from Sir Michael Stoute's stable being by the yard's 2,000 Guineas winner King's Best and could be anything, while stablemate Bold Eagle has the benefit of racing experience but needs to improve to land this. Ed Dunlop's Green Desert colt Fajr may need more time, while John Gosden's Sun And Showers would need to step up on debut form at Yarmouth to trouble the judge. Of More interest may be John Dunlop's Haddaaf, who showed promise at Newmarket on his debut but Jalwada looked a future winner on her debut and is taken to beat the colts.
