Verdict

SHAIHAAN showed progressive form at 2 yrs and is taken to put his experience to good use against a field predominately consisting of newcomers. Derby entry George Stubbs makes obvious appeal on paper, while Latin America is another who takes the eye. King of Sparta should progress further and must enter calculations, too.
