Verdict
Coat Of Arms may have already run five times but he was only beaten a short-head in a Group 2 at the Curragh on his penultimate start and that form would normally be good enough to win a maiden like this. But there are a few well-bred types in this including Cristal Spirit and ELWAZIR. Jim Crowley prefers the latter to Sir Michael Stoute’s newcomer Tahreek as his mount is by Frankel so should have the speed for this even though there is plenty of stamina on his dam’s side. Thrave was only beaten a head by a previous winner here on debut last month and should improve on that while Court Of Justice was second at Ascot and is another with scope.
