The vote goes to SCOVILLE, who created an excellent impression when winning his first 2 starts and could yet get back to that level as he goes handicapping for his leading yard. Heading the list of dangers is Erzindjan, who promises to be suited by the demands of this race, while La Botte looked unlucky not to win at this meeting last year. Others to note include Classic and Jagged Edge.
Jagged Edge This is obviously much tougher and he is up 9lb, but at 16-1, there is no end of upside on only his second start for Stephen Thorne.
Linwood Looks to be a Group performer in the making, based on his past two outings, and was value for more than the winning margin suggests last time out.
Erzindjan A strong gallop, which is certain here, is what this gelding needs to excel, and Ryan Moore is booked, so I would be surprised if he didn’t go close.
Jagged Edge Unexposed and makes each-way appeal after his emphatic win at Naas last month. He swept from ninth to first with two fast final furlongs of 11.85 and 13.04 seconds. The data points to those drawn low being at a disadvantage.
