Verdict
Bussento was third here after a debut fourth at Goodwood and that looks the best form among those with experience ahead of Classic Speed and the Yarmouth third Conquistador but it would be no surprise if this went to a newcomer. An early Derby entry, the Sea The Stars colt EXOPLANET looks a likely type. He cost 260,000gns as a yearling and his dam won over this trip. Uncle is a half-brother to three winners but Lieber Power may have more potential being a half-brother to a Grade 1 winner in the States. He cost 200,000gns while Feud is bred to be useful over this trip and a mile.
