In depth
Verdict
Kingsley Pride edges this at the weights but ran poorly on his reappearance and blinkers are applied. BANDERAS makes more appeal as he went close when runner-up at Newbury last month and Ryan Moore takes over the reins today. Chronograph has placed over shorter trips and is fitted with cheekpieces while Medieval Gold is a Derby entry and fellow newcomer King Of The Plains is out of a French 1000 Guineas and Oaks winner.
