Aidan O'Brien has dominated this race in the last decade and MOUNT KILIMANJARO is selected to bounce back from an odds-on defeat on his reappearance and enhance that record. Wood Ditton winner High Stock might be the one to give him most to do ahead of the other Ballydoyle runner Isambard Brunel.

    Verdict
    Siyouni colt who progressed very well at 2, finishing second in 1m Saint-Cloud Group 1 on final start. Turned over at 1/4 on his 1m Dundalk reappearance in March but that outing might have been needed and can prove a different proposition now for a yard with an outstanding record in this race

    Dubawi colt who looked a useful prospect when making a winning debut in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket (1m, good) last month. Definitely more to come, particularly up at 1¼m.

    Verdict
    All the wiser for his debut when winning 9-runner maiden (9/2) at Ascot (7f, good to soft) in September. Rounded off his 2-y-o campaign with a second in 1m Pontefract listed event (heavy) in October. The type to do better again at 3.

    Verdict
    Promising type who struck at the third time of asking in maidens when making all over 1m at Navan last October. Ryan Moore sides with Mount Kilimajaro but this Justify colt is very much the type to improve this year as his stamina is drawn out. Wears a first-time tongue tie.

    Useful colt whose 2 wins as a juvenile included a valuable prize at York. Good 3½ lengths third of 7 to Sea Scout in listed race (28/1) at Epsom (1¼m, good to firm) on reappearance 16 days ago.

    Verdict
    Maiden/novice winner at 2 and has recorded 2 useful in-frame efforts in 1m AW conditions races this year. Doesn't obviously shape as if crying out for this trip but his pedigree provides hope.

    Verdict
    Won 1m novice at Brighton (heavy) last autumn and improved again when readily following up in 1¼m Nottingham handicap on reappearance. Likely capable of even better but this is a jump in class.
