Verdict
This looks sure to be fast and furious and the key to this event could well be The Palace House Stakes run last month at the Guineas meeting. The winner that day Kyllachy, holds several of these on that running and he has since gone on to win the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Sandown. He has done nothing but improve this term and will be hard to beat in this. The rest appear to be playing for places, with the likes of Monkston Point, Bahamian Pirate, Continent and the front running Smokin Beau all holding sound claims.
