A one-time candidate for the 2000 Guineas, John Gosden sticks to sprinting with CALYX for now. The latter returns from injury having shown bags of ability last term when winning the Coventry over course and distance in June - he looks the one to beat on that form. Signora Cabello won the Queen Mary over 5f here before landing the Prix Robert Papin in France and could prove the main danger to the selection given she’s already beaten Pocket Dynamo and the remainder are facing no easy task at the weights. Well Done Fox is a Listed winner over the minimum trip but attempts 6f for the first time while Konchek was placed in the July Stakes at Newmarket last summer but has undergone wind surgery since last in action.
