Verdict
SKY SHIP (NAP) looks sure to prove popular in this. A close-up fourth at Kempton last time, Sir Michael Stoute's colt can land this with any further progress. Artful Mind was well beaten when fourth here on his debut but is a likely improver and preferred to Gleneve with the latter's stablemate and newcomer Hutton looking a bigger threat. Voices Of Kings is out of a prolific mare and related to a Group 2 winner and Baron Bolt is another debutant to note in the betting.
