Verdict

It may be worth taking a chance on NATIONAL ARMY on just his second career start after a very impressive debut at Doncaster and the yard won this last year with Benbatl who went on the win the Dubai Turf. Hunting Horn and Key Victory both ran well in the French Derby last time and the latter may be able to reverse the form here. Fajjaj could prove to be the main danger though if he takes another step forward for the step up in trip here after a respectable run in the German 2,000 Guineas.
