Duke Of Milan and Well Guarded probably have the best form among those to have raced previously but neither makes any great appeal and this may go to one of the newcomers with the vote given to Pikaboo. The selection is a Pivotal half-sister to several winners trained by John Gosden and can be expected to be forward enough to make a winning debut. Godolphin are represented by the Forestry colt Very Far, who could be anything but is unlikely to represent any great value given his connections. You Live And Learn is entitled to improve but needs to and of more interest may be Giles Bravery's consistent Duke Of Milan. Pikaboo makes plenty of appeal on pedigree though and gets the vote to make a winning debut.
