Verdict

MAXIMIZED is a sprinter on the up, having defeated the subsequent Windsor Castle winner when making it 2-2 in the Woodcote at Epsom last month. He can maintain his progression and land the hat-trick at the expense of Coventry runner-up Do or Do Not who is very progressive in his own right, while Ballydoyle's impressive debut winner Brussels has to be respected now pitched into group company.

5	£720,000 breeze-up buy created a fine impression when defeating a better fancied stablemate on debut. Again showed plenty of speed but saw out the trip well to defeat a subsequent Royal Ascot winner in the Woodcote (6f) last time, winning with a bit in hand. That form sets the standard here. 1st Pick 5 Maximized Jockey: William Buick Trainer: Charlie Appleby J: William Buick T: Charlie Appleby	100	-	-	-	50%

3	Maiden arrives very much on the up, having again improved (looked in fine shape beforehand) when runner-up up in the Coventry (6f) at Royal Ascot, well positioned off the pace and stayed on to lead his group in the final 50 yards. Remains open to progress and sure to win a race before long. 2nd Pick 3 Do Or Do Not (Ire) Jockey: Tom Marquand Trainer: Ed Walker J: Tom Marquand T: Ed Walker	99	-	-	-	15%

1	Wootton Bassett colt cost 300,000 gns as a yearling and made a winning start to his career (despite being relatively easy to back) when successful in a 9-runner maiden at the Curragh over this trip in May, only ridden out near finish. Represents powerful connections and looks sure to improve. 3rd Pick 1 Brussels Jockey: Ryan Moore Trainer: Aidan O'brien, Ireland J: Ryan Moore T: Aidan O'brien, Ireland	93	-	-	-	36%
