It will be interesting to see how the market shapes up regarding the seasonal reappearance of Gwyllion but John Gosden's filly may prefer a softer surface on turf and a more likely winner is Destour who gets the vote with Galipette looking the pick of the remainder. The selection failed to progress from a promising debut when disappointing at Newmarket last month but that was on a softish surface and Jeremy Noseda's colt may be worth chancing back on today's ground. Steeley Fox has shown only signs of ability so far and may do better once handicapped, while Archimage gave little sign of encouragement first time up and may need more time. Henry Cecil's Galipette has shown solid form in both starts so far and has to be considered but Destour looks the percentage call and he gets the vote.
