This Owen Burrows runner has looked extremely classy individual on both his starts. Won the Pretty Polly at Newmarket by just over thre lengthd leading from the start. Has been supplemented for this on the back of that performance and looks potentially very very smart. Will enjoy these fast conditions and as hes won over fiurther should be no issues with the drop in trip. Could get an uncontested lead off the front

Was disappointing on seasonal return but looks to hold an outstanding chance in this based on last season's form. Will benefit hugely if the forecast rain arrives, and 8/1 on latter basis alone seriously underestimates this one's chances. Stable is in decent form. Looks like an outstanding each-way bet to close this year's Derby meeting with the pace of the race certain to suit.

Ability to handle this track is a huge advantage, and Asgards Captain won here last month following several strong performances. One imagines this has been his primary aim. Third in it last year. Has to overcome a career-high mark but is in very good form and will have the race run to suit his style of running.

The front three have question marks on whether they will stay and represent poor value as a consequence. Midak, the French colt, is the only unbeaten runner in the field and has impressed on all starts. He is one who is guaranteed to stay this one mile four furlongs. I feel he represents outstanding value at 16/1. I can see him being well supported on the day of the race.

This is wide open, but one could not fail to be taken with the run of Jer Batt at Chester on seasonal return. Caught further back than ideal and finished very strongly. That should put him just right for this assignment off the same mark. At a price, Marching Mac could well be involved with the first run bringing him on and had a decent campaign last year.

Form tailed off after winning the first start last term. The key for this one is the ground, and in an open contest, it could relish the good to soft. Any more rain would be a huge bonus. It was not beaten far in The Lincoln, and the mark is workable. Egan keeps the ride and won this corresponding race last season.

Desert Flower is a classy filly, but there is no guarantee on the breeding side she will get this trip. With the rain we have had around, this will make it a real stamina test. I feel she's worth taking on. Elwateen has been supplemented for this at no small cost, and she was an impressive winner on debut. Her first run in the 1000 Guineas was a respectable effort when beaten just two lengths behind Desert Flower, and that was only her second run. She again looked green that day. She is bred to get the trip and have no issues with the rain around. I am personally on each way at 40/1. She also holds an entry in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot. I think she's been underestimated with the usual hype around O'Brien horses and the short-priced jolly.

Giavellto is a big danger with forecast rain suiting him. But Calandagan, who won at Royal Ascot last term, deserves a Group 1 on form. Won Sheema Classic at Meydan, and if running up to that mark, should win this. Holds the Botti runner on that form.

A poor contest, and on one or two pieces of form, Guy Fawkes should be nearer 5/1 than 10/1. The mark continues to drop. He was racing off a mark of 78 back in January last year. The trainer has had a fifth, second, and a winner since June 1st. Interesting with conditions suiting. I feel he has been seriously underestimated.

If the main protagonists fail to show their form, then Norman Cay, the Brocklesbury winner, could be the main beneficiary. He has not been seen since Doncaster when winning despite showing greenness. Bred to stay further than this, if forecasted rain arrives again, the emphasis on stamina could play a part. He is another whose chances seem to have been underestimated.
