        Verdict

        Brave Fight gets the call here, while Bull Market and Cactus King might be ones to chase him home. Brave Fight's second to subsequent Racing Post Trophy runner-up Winged Cupid stands out as form here and he gets the vote. A son of Danehill, the 190,000 guineas purchase Bull Market rates as very interesting. Cactus King showed little on his debut, but the good to soft going may have been against him that day, while Emirates Sevens would need to show more than he did on his debut when third of four at Brighton. Marcus Tregoning's Salt Man is one to have a look at in the betting, as is Michael Jarvis's Zero, while Cithogue and Clear Vision, a half-sister to Cassydora, are others among the newcomers to consider. However, Brave Fight's form stands out, and he gets the vote.
