A trio of well-bred newcomers to consider and they include the 195,000euros gelding Narcissist. Sir Palomides is also worth monitoring in the betting as he's a half-brother to 2000 Guineas winner Footstepsinthesand but Sir Michael Stoute's yard is in fine form now and ELTIFAAT is just preferred. He's a half-brother to another 2000 Guineas winner in Makfi and the Freemason Lodge colt may be up to landing this on his debut. Stablemate Positively was well beaten on her introduction and drops back in distance while Coco Rouge, Garzoni and Monopoli all return to action and make most appeal of those with experience.
