This looks a good opportunity for Seminole who is put forward to beat the likes of Fullback and Churchills Victory. John Gosden's colt has gone close on each of his last two starts and he was outclassed by Zacinto at Sandown last time. There doesn't look to be anything of that calibre in this field and if he runs his race then he should be tough to beat. Fullback is from a nice family and he showed plenty of promise on his debut when he chased home High Alert here. He should come on for the run and he is entitled to make the frame. Churchills Victory ran well on his debut but he subsequently disappointed at Leicester and he will need to leave than running behind if he is to make his mark today. Stirling Castle has shown speed and he finished fourth behind Quartermain last time, but he ran on Wednesday and disappointed so it remains to be seen how solid the form is. Some nice types in opposition here but Seminole has plenty in his favour and he can get his head in front.
