Little to go on here and yet more juveniles in action, so it should pay to side with those from the big yards such as Confidence Trick, Rochefort, Craigstown, Lord Peter Flint, Mountain Pride and Yankadi, and we will take Craigstown to score. Godolphin have had two winners from eight juvenile starters this year and this can improve their strike rate. The Cape Cross colt finished well behind Latin Lad over this trip at Goodwood, and that form has worked out quite well. With experience in the locker he can go one better here. Confidence Trick is among a crop of interesting newcomers. Sir Michael Stoute's Rahy colt is bred to have plenty of speed but has perhaps been showing more stamina on the gallops. Rochefort can go well but is bred to get better with age and a trip, so might have to wait for other days and the same can be said of Mountain Pride. Lord Peter Flint is another in that category and a more likely proposition may be Yankadi, who is related to juvenile winners at this trip and should be watched in the market. Another wide open race then and the suggestion is Craigstown.
