Verdict

This is quite a tight heat with Caesar Beware, Orientor, Cartography and Stetchworth Prince all considered, with the vote going to Cartography. A return to his very smart juvenile form would give Caesar Beware claims, and he is now back with his original trainer, Henry Candy. Orientor has more than form enough to play a leading part, his Group efforts warranting respect and he will handle the going. Cartography's form is also solid for this level and, given that he is proven on slow going, is another to consider strongly, although he has yet to race this season. A decent juvenile. Fox can be given claims, although he has not been seen for nearly a year, and Stetchworth Prince has shown enough to be considered, although he lacks soft ground form. Overall, though, we will side with Cartography.
