In depth

Verdict

Beauchamp Viceroy has done little wrong in two starts on the Polytrack so far and has to be respected on his turf debut but Gerard Butler's colt is not certain to go on the ground so preference is for Ebn Reem, with College Scholar rated the best of the rest. The selection opened his account in a Pontefract maiden on fast ground last time but has already shown that he is just as effective on a softer surface and the Michael Jarvis-trained colt is taken to follow up here. Top Royelle was well held on her nursery debut at Windsor recently and may be best watched at present, while Popolo is another not certain to be suited by the underfoot conditions. College Scholar should go on the ground but is not certain to go on the ground and preference is for Ebn Reem, who is taken to win again.
