Murillo brings the best form into this on the back of a solid third in the Coventry at Royal Ascot and he looks the pick of two from Ballydoyle as his trainer looks for a 13th win in this contest. He appears set to go well but at the likely prices it might be worth siding with DE BRUYNE HORSE to reverse Ascot form. The Woodcote Stakes winner might perhaps have found the ground plenty firm in that race and should be more at home in this smaller field in any case. His trainer retains belief in him and he should get ground to suit. Verbal Dexterity made a strong impression in winning his maiden at this track last month over further but must step up on that form to play a role here while True Blue Moon is expected to go well now tackling this 6f trip for the first time having stayed on to good effect at Ascot late on in the Norfolk. Once-raced maiden winner Beckford is another potential improver lurking in what is an open contest.
