      Verdict

      Thousand Words gets the nomination in this interesting juvenile event, with his biggest danger reckoned to be Drumfire. Thousand Words created a very favourable impression when scoring on his debut here 37 days ago and, with the race having worked out, he can build on his reputation today. Having slaughtered the subsequent July Stakes second Armigerent on his Beverley debut, Drumfire is very much respected, while Monachello also looked promising when scoring on his debut. As One Does and Princeton have also displayed ability in winning races, while Peter Chapple Hyam's 50,000 guineas purchase, Striving Storm rates as an interesting newcomer. The vote, though, stays with Thousand Words.
