Verdict
Frankel emerged as leading sire at Royal Ascot last week and could well have another winner here courtesy of GUILD (NAP). Roger Charlton has handled the colt with trademark patience, which can now be rewarded. He revealed distinct promise on his Newmarket debut when only 3l behind the winner Burgonet with Stylehunter second, both of whom have won since. This looks a good opportunity to add his name to the winning list. Persian Sun looks the main form threat after showing definite potential in two maidens and Floria Tosca should progress too but looks a longer-term project. Lissitzky is unraced but is of definite interest and needs a market check.
