Unilateralism probably came up against a decent juvenile when second at Newmarket and looks the pick of those with experience in this ahead of Newcastle third Leuven Power and Wolverhampton runner-up Galiac, though Kingdom Come is a likely improver. There are a host of interesting newcomers in opposition, however, including Kennet, who is a half-brother to two winners, and Godolphin’s Bay Of Honour. Andrew Balding’s juveniles usually know what’s required and TACK is a half-brother to Tactical, who won the July Stakes at two and the European Free Handicap at three. He gets a tentative vote with Oisin Murphy doing the steering.
