Derby entry Academy is respected however UNEX RENOIR shaped with promise when third at Sandown and he can go two places better. Unfancied at 20/1, John Gosden's colt stayed on for a never nearer third and being by the adaptable sire Nayef he should have little difficulty with this slower ground. Stablemate Trumpington Street is out of a half-sister to the classy Zambezi Sun, whilst newcomers Unex Picasso and Academy both have Derby entries. Both are stoutly-bred and are starting off at the right trip. Godolphin won this last year so Auden needs respect, despite passing up a decent opportunity at Brighton when looking green; the longer trip should help this half-brother to Mastery. The others to mention include Musnad after a promising debut at Doncaster, and newcomers Lordofthehouse, Maharana and Muqtarrib.
