5/6
Finished clear of the third when chasing home a potentially smart horse last time. Had a subsequent winner behind in third on penultimate start when chasing home a rival rated 90 and he sets the standard here.

20,000 gns son of Teofilo and related to the smart stayer Ahzeemah. Entered in next year's Derby and represents a top stable holding a 12-56 record with it's juveniles here.

Bated Breath colt, cost 10,000 gns as a yearling. Related to some useful stayers. Keen on debut and not knocked about once his chance had gone. Forecast of quicker ground will produce improvement.

Cheap purchase who finished last of 14 on introduction two weeks ago. Stable appear to have a stronger candidate in this.

Verdict

Guvenor's Choice was heavily backed in the early markets before drifting nearer to the off for his latest run at Epsom. There are certainly races to be won with him but we expect COSA NOSTRA to have his measure this time. The Fahey stable have had a good year with their juveniles and this youngster has been unlucky to bump into a couple of useful types on his last two starts. This looks easier and a BHA rating of 79 suggests it will take an improved effort from one of his rivals to beat him. Newcomer Austrian School holds a Derby entry and is worth noting in the market.
