TRICORN will be a short-price to get off the mark in this. John Gosden’s colt found only the joint-favourite too good at Kempton on his recent debut when showing signs of his inexperience and can go one better with that run under his belt. Invincible Man finished closer on his latest start without looking like winning and the remaining trio look up against it given the lack of any worthwhile form so far.
