Verdict
Only Olynthos has seen a race-track and he looks only modest, so the market is likely to provide the best guide to this contest. Without that assistance we'll take a chance with UTLEY. John Gosden's filly is a half-sister to the yard's very smart Rainbow View, the best of her generation as a two-year-old. She won on debut over course and distance and acted on ground with cut, so it seems reasonable to hope Utley is up to going close, a theory backed up by her Racing Post Trophy entry. Three Sparrows is the first foal of a dam who won over a mile and needs considering along with Marden and Mantoba, two well-entered Meehan representatives who will be separated by the market. Tanjung Agas is likely to need further while of Sir Michael Stoute's four Chilled, a half-brother to Group Three winner Infallible, and similarly well-bred Adone make most appeal on paper.
