Verdict
Roger Charlton looks to have a strong hand in this with both FASHION BUSINESS and Abaad. Both made their respective debuts in separate divisions of the same maiden race here recently with the latter running green but the former finishing second and looking capable of landing this with normal progress. American History was still beaten 10 lengths when runner-up on his latest start but is one of only two rides on the card for the returning Ryan Moore while Cartavio is going the right way and Eggesford is a newcomer to note.
