MARSTON MOOR can improve for his debut run and take this, while Custom House and Fight The Chance look the dangers. The Mahmood Al Zaroony-trained pick was last of five in Group 2 company on debut, but the race has worked out well and with the Godolphin two-year-olds beginning to fire we will side with him. Custom House caught the eye on debut when not far away over 7f at Ascot, proving in the process that he goes on fast ground. The yard's juveniles have been little short of awesome this season and he is feared. Fight The Chance has the most experience in this field, making the frame on each of his last two starts. The going is ideal for him and this good yardstick should again be heavily involved. Forty Proof and Exchange are both nicely-bred newcomers worth a market check but preference is for Marston Moor.
