In depth
Verdict
David Loder is double handed here with Green Pirate and Jostle and both could figure here, but we will side with Grosvenor Square, who can beat King's Majesty. This son of Dubai Millennium contested a decent maiden at Haydock on his debut and ran with credit finishing a close up sixth behind Zohar. There should be plenty of scope for improvement and she can land yet another prize for the mighty Godolphin yard. King's Majesty is a well bred son of King's Best, and like that classic winner, is trained by Sir Michael Stoute. If fully wound up for his debut he should figure in the finish. The two Loder entries Green Pirate and Jostle were relatively cheap purchases but are quite well related, so keep an eye on the betting market, however Grosvenor Square has already shown plenty of ability and gets the vote.
