Six of these sport the Godolphin colours and represent three different yards. ISLAND FALCON may prove best having finished third at Goodwood on his debut and is preferred to stablemate Army Sergeant. Charlie Appleby won this last year with subsequent Derby hero Adayar and William Buick prefers Kalahari Prince to Untold Mystery while Rockfire was well beaten for the Gosdens’ yard here and stable companion Honiton is related to the useful Yalta. Clear Day and Nathanael Greene represent the Haggas yard while King Eagle and Nova Legend are other newcomers to note.
