11/4
Camacho colt who confirmed debut promise when landing 4-runner Hamilton maiden (6f) in July. Took another marked step forward when runner-up to subsequent Prix Morny winner Vandeek in Group 2 Richmond at Goodwood (6f) 3 weeks ago and a repeat gives him sound claims now upped to 7f.

11/4
Good-looking son of Churchill who looked a smart prospect when making a winning debut in a Newbury novice (7f) last month, quickening to lead final 1f and going clear. Well worth his place at this higher level on that evidence with prospect of more to come. Yard have won this twice since 2014.

9/1
No Nay Never colt. Looked badly in need of the experience on debut when second at Tipperary in April but hit the line full of running when going one place better back from 3 months off at Naas (5f, soft) 4 weeks ago. Can do better again now stamina is tested further.

5/1
120,000 gns 2-y-o who caught the eye on debut at Newbury prior to a big effort when close up fifth in Chesham Stakes at the Royal Meeting in June. Capitalised on return to calmer waters when successful in a Salisbury novice (7f) since and expected to give another good account back up in class.

75,000 gns yearling, Sioux Nation colt. Half-brother to 1½m winner Imaginative. Showed benefit of debut experience when running out a good winner of an Ascot maiden (6f) 25 days ago and whilst this is understandably tougher, he should have more to offer, including at this trip.

9/2
Territories colt. Well backed, made a winning debut in most likeable fashion in a C&D novice 26 days ago, digging deep under pressure to fend off another newcomer. Top yard have won this twice since 2011 and he's well worthy of respect with improvement forthcoming. Tongue tie goes on.

Forecasts

Ballymount Boy (11/4), Cogitate (11/4), Loose Cannon (9/2), Hot Fuss (5/1), Indian Run (17/2), Edwardian (9/1)

Verdict

BALLYMOUNT BOY was never stronger than at the finish when a fine second behind subsequent Prix Morny winner Vandeek in the Richmond Stakes at Goodwood 3 weeks ago and, with the step up to 7f expected to suit on that evidence, he gets the nod to come out on top. Impressive Newbury scorer Cogitate looks well worth his place at this higher level and rates next best, ahead of Loose Cannon and Edwardian.
