This is wide-open with only a speculative vote going to BIZET on his debut fourth in this grade at Newmarket. Novoman was placed at Epsom and Sassoferrato showed some promise at Lingfield on their respective debuts while Shadow Warrior and Crystal Dome are also likely improvers. The newcomers cannot be ignored either given Intrepidly is a £200,000 half-brother to a Group 3 winner, the Godolphin colt Salsabeel has a handful of fancy entries and Presence Process is a half-brother to a Listed winner among others.
