SAXON WARRIOR arrives here with the strongest form following his 2,000 Guineas success when last seen and this son of Deep Impact shaped like he would be even better over further that day. His pedigree suggests as much and if he wins well again, there could be a triple crown bid on the cards. While few will argue he's the most likely winner, the value could be with the likes of Young Rascal and Dee Ex Bee who pulled clear of some useful sorts in the Chester Vase last time. Hazapour is a live each-way player and if Dermot Weld's charge has improved since an impressive Derrinstown success, this relation of 2016 Derby winner Harzand could be the main danger.
