In depth
Verdict
The form of Moss Vale's debut fifth has a good luck to it following Haafdh's subsequent victory in better company at Newbury, and he is can win this contest for his in-form stable. Of the others, Compton's Eleven cost 90,000 guineas and is a half-brother to a good sprinting juvenile. Barry Hills' Danzig River will be popular after a promising run last time. He drops back to six here but, with a suggestion that further will suit in time, it remains to be seen as to whether he will prove suited by that move. King Egbert has shown promise, but you will need to forgive a poor last run. Support for Momtic, Mad Maurice and Saviours Spirit might be significant but we are happy to stick with Moss Vale.
