Verdict
Declan Carroll looks to have found the key to EMIYN as the latter ended last season with a double. Further progress looks likely and he’s preferred to Forza Orta. The latter was admirably consistent last term and will be winning again before long as will Contact, who drops back down to his winning trip on his reappearance. Juan De Montalban has something to prove over this far on his debut for a new yard while State Of Bliss won a Shergar Cup contest at Ascot last summer and is only 2lb higher.
