Verdict
A check on the market moves is an absolute must before wagering on any of these big-field maidens on the July course. Less than half of these have raced before with Elkhart and Flying Trader arguably the pick of those with racecourse experience, though Tudor Empire should improve markedly on his debut effort on the Rowley Mile here eight days ago over this extra furlong and is the choice of stable jockey William Buick. Dollar Bill is closely related to several smart performers and is worth a second look but the vote goes to ROCKINANTE. A 90,000euro yearling, Richard Hannon's Rock Of Gibraltar colt is out of a mare than won over 7f and 1m in France and is sure to know what's required here.
