Verdict
Buster Brown can only improve on his debut third at Windsor but it will be a surprise if there isn't something to beat him here among the newcomers. Golden Jubilee has a decent US pedigree and should win races, while The Queen's Moidore is a half-brother to a couple of winners and looks a nice prospect. Kaafel is from a successful family but the vote goes to CATHEDRAL. A half-brother to smart French performers Vangelis and Marichal, the Invincible Spirit colt may well be forward enough to make a winning debut. Gabrial's Bounty looks the pick of Mick Channon's pair and can lead home the remainder.
