SINAWANN is the form pick having won the Group 3 Amethyst Stakes here in July and finished a short-head behind Safe Voyage in a Group 2 over the track and trip in September. He hasn't been seen since which is a concern though his overall form puts him in the driving seat. Saltonstall completed a hat-trick in the autumn and has been keeping strong company this term while the progressive Fourhometwo looks best of the three-year-olds after an impressive victory in a Naas premier handicap. Ebeneezer Perry enters the could be anything category after his maiden victory over the course and distance, only his second start.
