In depth

Verdict

With all of these yards in fair form and no public information for us to go on this is clearly a race to watch, but for those who desperately want to be involved, then a tentative choice is Adoration, with Skywards and Asian Tiger others under scrutiny. Mark Johnston-trained Adoration is a half-brother to a triple 5f two-year-old winner in First Order and his trainer has been sending out first-time winners in this sphere already this season. Sure to be straight enough to go well, any money would clearly be in our favour and we will take a chance on the Royal Applause colt. Skywards is the Godolphin representative but might be better over further than this. However, as none of these have any racecourse experience he is at no disadvantage at this stage and can go well for Frankie Dettori, but is just overlooked. Asian Tiger will want further in time but is related to winners over this trip at two, and coming from a yard whose juveniles always command respect, he should be thereabouts, but we will stick with Adoration to minimal stakes.
