Abhaath was eased down once beaten when failing to land the odds on his debut at Lingfield and will no doubt finish closer here, but Snooky looks to have stronger claims having finished second on his debut at Salisbury with Devdas not far behind in fourth. Flavius Victor showed improved form on the Polytrack last time and Strada Facendo is likely to be thereabouts at the finish after his promising debut at Newmarket, but the vote goes to newcomer STIPULATE. He looks nothing exceptional on breeding but entries in the Royal Lodge and Dewhurst Stakes suggest the Warren Place colt has been showing plenty at home.
