ZURBRIGGEN was beaten only a head in a Newmarket maiden race last month with subsequent winning stablemate For Posterity back in fourth. The Godolphin colt can open his account in this unless Appease has improved since finishing second at Wolverhampton on last year's debut. Aomen Rock is preferred to Pearl Style as both step up in distance but a newcomer may prove a bigger threat. Zuhd is worth noting of those along with the Bernardini gelding White Peak, a half-brother to seven winners in the USA.
