Royal Line (4/6), Towie (5/1), Saniyaat (11/2), Steaming (8/1), Hang Man (16/1), Lazarus (33/1), Kirkland Forever (50/1)

The well-bred ROYAL LINE can make a winning debut for trainer John Gosden in this maiden contest. The selection is out of Oaks third Melikah and related to a number of other classy performers and is taken to get the better of his rivals in this. Steaming disappointed on heavy ground last time but had some decent form to his name in the spring and can take second here while Saniyaat has run well the last twice and can take third today.
