Choisan is thoroughly exposed but there are plenty in this with scope for further improvement. Gregorian was seventh in a valuable sales race at Newmarket last time and should find this easier, while Right Regal wasn't beaten far in his first two starts at Newmarket. Strada Facendo has proved a little disappointing so far, however, as has Menelik. Razorbill and Skirmish are interesting newcomers but so is SHUJA, who is a half-brother to a 7f winner in Ireland. An entry in next year's Derby suggests the Godolphin colt is expected to prove above-average.
