Verdict
Monarch Of Egypt makes a quick reappearance after finishing seventh in the Irish 2000 Guineas last week. Final Song outran massive odds when fourth in the 1000 Guineas but this can go to French raider CELESTIN. He pulled too hard in the French 2000 Guineas but still finished fourth and a drop back to 7f has to be in his favour. Molatham is a danger on his win in a Listed race at Doncaster in September but did finish a place behind the luckless Ropey Guest in the Autumn Stakes in October when George Margarson’s maiden ran his usual game race. King Leonidas is 2-2 at Newmarket but this is a step up in grade for Frankie’s mount. Karl Burke rates Lord Of The Lodge highly but the going may have turned against the Newcastle winner, who steps up from 6f.
