Verdict
From an original entry of eight, Aidan O'Brien goes with three newcomers. Berkeley Square is by Galileo out of Homecoming Queen, who won the 1,000 Guineas and has produced a smart juvenile in France with her first offspring. Coat Of Arms is another son of Galileo and a full-brother to Irish Oaks winner Seventh Heaven and a half-brother to Middle Park winner Crusade. ROSTROPOVICH is by Frankel and cost 1.1m guineas. His dam has produced numerous winners including the brilliant Zoffany so he's handed the vote. Camelback looks best of those with experience having caught the eye on his introduction here where he stayed on nicely once getting the hang of the job. Jim Bolger's filly New To Town is related to plenty of winner though over much further.
