Art History made a bright start at Kempton despite running green and as a son of Dalakhani will appreciate the step-up in trip. Maher's last run at Newmarket was behind the brilliant Frankel and he won't meet anything of that calibre here but ROJO BOY gets the vote. David Elsworth's colt has been crying out for this trip after staying on strongly in his most recent races over much shorter. It wouldn't be at all surprising if one of the newcomers took this with Richard Fahey's Halling colt Cadgers Brig looking potentially useful on breeding and the filly Full Bloom having a decent pedigree.
