Some top yards are represented in this maiden and we will side with the Luca Cumani trained Flying Goose, Boscobel and Hall Of Fame may provide most danger. The selection, an expensive son of Danehill Dancer, displayed plenty of promise on his debut at Wolverhampton when chasing home Majestic Cheer. He looked the likely winner a furlong out only to be touched off close home. He did nothing wrong and should be capable of landing a prize of this nature. Boscobel is trained by Mark Johnston who is going well at present. A son of Halling he is related to numerous winners in the States and should have no problems with the surface. Watch the market for any significant move. The Godolphin owned Hall Of Fame has put in two promising displays to date and could be just about at his peak, he will be hard to keep out of the money. Mr Aviator is another newcomer to keep on the right side, but Flying Goose can put his experience to good use here and he gets our vote.
Boscobel Halling colt, half-brother to winning miler Crested.
