Verdict
Another maiden in which the market should provide a good guide with few of those with experience having shown much so far. The twice-placed Soapy Stevens looks the best of those that have had a run but it will be a surprise if at least one of the newcomers doesn’t prove superior. Godolphin’s ORIENTALISM, a £230,000 Sea The Stars colt out of a 1m2f winner, looks a likely candidate and is just preferred to Fantastic Fox, who is by Frankel and cost 260,000gns. The latter is a half-brother to several useful winners and should have a bright future, whatever happens today. Stiletto, another Frankel colt, is also related to several winners and is another representing a powerful Newmarket stable.
