In depth

Verdict

Danish Duke and TRICKY DICKY look likely to make this a solid test from the outset and preference is for Olly Williams' 4-y-o, a good winner here in May and possibly a bit more adaptable as far as the tactics go than Danish Duke, who likes to make all. Treaty Of Rome will be happier back on the sand after a few below-par efforts on turf and he has the class to pose the biggest danger to the selection. Both Interlink and Just Surprise Me need a market check.
