Verdict

This has cut up with only seven standing their ground from 59 entries. This is Henri Martin's easiest task for a while and although he is sure to have plenty of support, he is not guaranteed to be suited by this trip, while Prince Of Gold looks sure to be suited by this step up in trip, as he is a half-brother to the useful middle-distance handicapper Royal Cavalier. He will be difficult to keep out of the frame. However, the vote goes to the newcomer Rocket Ship, who still holds an entry in the Group 1 Racing Post Trophy. He comes from the same family as the high-class pair Rock City and Kerrera and he is sure to know his job.
