Verdict
With John Gosden's three year old's in such good form it wouldn't be too surprising to see his well-bred newcomer Tiger Frog landing the spoils. a well related American bred colt, Tiger Frog's chances should be indicated by a lofty market position. There is probably better to come from Karakum and he should be thereabouts given the form of his yard. Sorbonne showed some promise in a Windsor maiden but may do better in handicaps. Bodfari Rose could be interesting if the market speaks in her favour.
