Dodge City is preferred here to Nabra and Curzon Prince in a tight affair for punters to predict. The selection showed plenty of promise on his debut at Ascot when finishing fourth behind To The Max. He travelled well for much of that race but did look a bit green and with that experience under his belt he should take plenty of beating today. Nabra is a well-bred filly from the John Gosden yard and from a fair draw she is entitled to plenty of respect. Curzon Prince made a pleasing impression on his debut and this colt will not be far away at the finish with nominal improvement. Tibinta is another interesting newcomer worth a look in the market, but for the winner we will stick with Dodge City.
