Verdict

Caledonian Spring's fourth in a Group 3 at York is arguably the best form on offer here but Paul D'Arcy's charge is starting to look exposed and may be vulnerable against some of these. Crius lost his unbeaten record in a nursery at the Ebor meeting and has to prove himself at this level, but there's every chance of further progress from Stipulate as the runner-up has already franked the form of his Leicester maiden win. Goldoni and Leqqaa have already been beaten in this grade, however, while Noor Zabeel has been off the track since scoring at York in May and stablemate Shamrocked has plenty to find on what he's shown so far. MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT only won a Sandown maiden last month but did so in eye-catching fashion. The second bolted up next time and is well regarded so Sir Michael Stoute's colt is fancied to score again here.
