    Verdict

    In this Group Three contest, Creachadoir is selected ahead Jumbajukiba and Tobosa. Jumbajukiba has been a revelation this season, working his way up to win at Group Three level last time. Despite his penalty for that success, he cannot be ruled out of a good run today. The highest-rated of the field, though, is Creachadoir, who followed up his Irish 2,000 Guineas second with a sixth, beaten two-and-three-quarter lengths, in the St James's Palace Stakes. He does not seem to stand a lot of racing these days but, if anywhere near his best, looks to be the one they all have to beat. The second-highest rated of the field is Tobosa and he has earned the right to a crack at a Group Three, while, in fairness, there does not seem to be a lot to choose between most of the other runners. All of which returns us to the selection, which is Creachadoir.
