DOUBLE KODIAC is hard to assess as he's had both runs to date in France, latterly when beaten in a Group 3 contest. However, he won nicely enough first time up and must be held in some regard to have been sent straight into elevated company. He is just given the nod over Production who showed a good attitude to prevail on debut at Ascot. The Hannon team is rolling along nicely and the Oasis Dream colt is a major danger. There are also some interesting newcomers to keep an eye on too, of which Guildhall, Gravistas and Buckman Tavern make most appeal.
