It will be interesting to see how the market shapes regarding Jeremy Noseda's newcomer Exclusionist but he will need to be useful to beat Fourteenth, who is the clear form pick and gets the vote ahead of Kwazulu. The selection made a promising start to his career when finding just Moon Quest too good in a maiden over course and distance and, with improvement to come, he looks the one they all have to beat. The Michael Jarvis-trained Irish Quest has ability but may do better when running in handicaps, while Trans Siberian makes only limited appeal on pedigree on his debut and may be best watched. James Fanshawe's Ommadawn has shown ability in both starts but may have to settle for a minor role with a bigger threat looking to be Kwazulu. John Gosden's colt is bred to be useful and a market move for him could be of interest but Fourteenth has solid claims on all known form and he is preferred.
