Verdict

Those with experience don't set a high standard so this could go to a newcomer, with Aidan O'Brien's AFTERMATH being the standout (entered for the Dewhurst Stakes). Of the others, Into Combat and Fitzmaurice both proved very popular at the sales, while Cosmic Year is from a successful Juddmonte family.
