Attache Not disgraced in Group 1 Italian race on latest start; previously impressive at Sandown and Redcar and must go close here.
Cd Europe (IRE) has suggested in a couple of his later performances last season that this mile will stretch his stamina capabilities; chance if race becomes tactical.
Forwood (IRE) Impressed on opening two starts last season but was outclassed when stepped up in class the next two outings; capable trainer who will have this one ready.
Ikbal Well fancied to make winning debut on his only start but weakened at the business end of the race; best watched today.
King's Ironbridge (IRE) Tough colt who deserves to win this type of race; ran a couple of out of sort races last year but will go close if fit enough today.
Nayef (USA) Rated by his jockey as the best he has ever ridden and was impressive on both starts last year; leading Guineas fancy who should run well today.
Painted Room (USA) Beautifully bred colt who failed to get his head in front last season; trainer doesn't have that many in this race and he must have a definite chance.
Red Carpet Not sure to be suited to this trip and others preferred.
Tempest Wouldn't be the form pick but trainer respected and has place possibilities
