Verdict

John Gosden is capable of readying newcomers although plenty of his more stoutly bred two-year-olds need their first run and WAR EAGLE looked the sort likely to make significant progress from his first race to this his second. Ryan Moore's mount gets the nod over Nina Petrovna who has the best form in the book but isn't open to the same amount of improvement as her rivals. Cape Islay isn't ruled out as very few from her stable can be and she showed enough at Nottingham to think she will go well here.
  1. War Eagle
  2. Nina Petrovna
  3. Cape Islay
