Rocking Tree has come up against a couple of smart winners and looks best of these with experience though Volto Di Medusa will improve for his run at Down Royal. The former's stablemate Best Law should be ideally suited by this trip but Benvoy is bred for middle-distances. Solar Saving is related to two winners but all eyes here will be on EUPHORIC, a 1.9m guineas son of Frankel out of a 1m2f winner though he surprisingly has no further entries. His stablemate South Pole cost 650,000gns and is out of a mare who produced a winner with her first foal.
