Verdict

ROYAL ARTILLERY appeared to need the run at Sandown on his reappearance and he's expected to be seen in a better light here. Folkswood is an improving, uncomplicated sort who went close in a Group 1 in Meydan over the winter and looks capable at this level while Deauville has some lofty targets this summer and he would want to be going close in this affair to justify some of those entries. Poet's Word completes the shortlist, but he may find this step up in class a little tough.
