As hot a handicap as you will see all season this and it may take a Group horse to win it but in Aidan O'Brien's ASTROMOMER we likely have one. After running just once at two this 600,000gns yearling has won all four times this term by a combined 15¼L and could just have too much class despite top-weight. There are dangers aplenty and Rock Eagle is among the biggest having stayed on very strongly on handicap debut in a hot 1m2f Goodwood contest, he will surely be even better over this trip. Baritone is progressing typically well for one from his yard and comes here off the back of a 9L success.
