Verdict

Aidan O'Brien looks to have a strong hand in this but not for the first time this season he may have to play second fiddle to son Joseph, CLUSTER selected to go a couple of places better than on debut (yard's juvenile runners tend to come on appreciably from their debut). Kingdom of Camelot is seemingly the choice of Ryan Moore, so he heads up the dangers, with Greatest Knight and Capability Brown also fancied to feature.
