NO HUBRIS is our call in this listed contest with Big Audio and Fallen Idol offered as the alternatives. Paul Cole has made no secret with regard to the esteem that he holds this colt and he proved that he has trained on with a winning reappearance over course-and-distance. He could make up into a Group performer overseas so this looks a suitable starting point toward those ambitions. Big Audio has his first run for Godolphin. A dual listed winner for Richard Hannon, he is tried in a visor for the first time. Fallen Idol was an emphatic winner of a handicap at the course last month and he could conceivably make up into better than that. Aldovrandi was never sighted in the French 2,000 Guineas. He is held in some regard by connections and this is a massive drop in class. Lord Zenith was tenth in our Guineas and while out of his depth at that level, could prosper at this. He accounted for Zaahy when the pair met at Lingfield. A high quality renewal of this valuable prize and the lightly raced No Hubris can take this en route to better things.
