Gamesmanship could be of interest for a yard that has won this race twice in the past five years but more obvious form claims are held by TIMOTHY T with Richard Hannon's Fly By White completing the short-list. Fly By White failed to feature on debut at Kempton and finished well held but it would be no surprise to see her fare considerably better this time around. Gamesmanship will also need to leave his debut form behind if he's to feature but he is related to a juvenile winner and was very green at Salisbury so is not without hope. Educated Son was unlikely to have been wound up for his debut and was a shade keen so could improve whilst Robber Stone will find this less demanding than the race he contested at Windsor. Endaxi Mana Mou needs a market check as he makes his racecourse bow but preference is for Timothy T who shaped well at Yarmouth on debut and he may not need to improve significantly on that performance in order to open his account.
