In races like this with a number of unraced entries the market is always a good guide and it will probably point you towards EMIRATES CHAMPION, Invisible Man and Coismo. Godolphin's Emirates Champion, as you would expect, is extremely well bred. In his lineage there are a whole host of winners in addition to a Group One placing. If he runs as well as he looks on paper he won't be beaten. Invisible Man also makes a racecourse debut here and John Gosden's latest debutant almost rival's our selection in the breeding stakes. He joins his rival in having plenty of winner in the family and on paper he will like this trip but eventually might want longer and needs to be respected. Sir Michael Stoute's Coismo returns to a race course after a very disappointing debut over seven furlongs a week and a half ago. He never recovered from a slow start and finished adrift in last. Improvement will come which is why he's worth watching in this race.
