It is hard to escape the profile of George Washington in this good-looking maiden and we give him the vote here ahead of probably Envision, Guest Connections and Laith. The Aidan O'Brien-trained selection cost 1,150,000 guineas and, given the fact that his stable has elected to travel this Danehill half-brother to the top-class Grandera, catches the eye and he can be expected to go well on his debut. Turning to the others and Richard Hannon's 66,000 guineas son of Pivotal, Envision, Mick Channon's 55,000 guineas son of Zafonic, Guest Connections, Barry Hills' 200,000 guineas Royal Academy colt, Laith, and Paul Cole's 55,000 guineas colt, White Ladder, all catch the eye and should be noted with interest in the betting. However, for the winner, we will stick with George Washington.
