Carries a 7lb penalty for his hard-fought AW win in December after a promising start at Doncaster. That leaves him a little vulnerable here but a bold bid is almost assured.
Dutch Art newcomer cost 30.000gns as a yearling. From a good family and respected yard so market check needed.
Gelding by Nathaniel shown little in two starts on AW. Will have to leave those efforts a mile behind now on turf.
Good third on debut at Ascot and bumped into some really smart rivals there next when disappointing. Too soon to write him off and merits respect here.
Newcomer by Helmet is a half-brother to several winners and makes plenty of appeal pedigree-wise. Already gelded however and late to start so maybe better watched.
Beaten 9L when fifth of 14 at Doncaster last November showing some ability after a slow start. That said a big step up is needed here.
Made an excellent start when beaten a nose at Newmarket by a Dante entered Gosden newcomer last November. Expect that works out very well in time and has strong claims here.
Newcomer by Acclamation a half-brother to a Listed winner over this trip in France. Has one of the most appealing pedigrees and therefore needs a market check.
Improvement in his fifth at Newcastle latest and should continue to progress now on turf although this seems a tall order.
The most experienced runner here and placed three times in four starts at two. Has some of the strongest form on offer here but others are open to more improvement.
Forecasts
Real Smooth (10/11), The Night Watch (11/4), Voltaic (7/1), Recondite (12/1), Gambon (14/1), Oxted (25/1), After John (33/1), Immoral (33/1), Scottish Blade (33/1), Bartimaeus (66/1)
Juvenile winner The Night Watch will no doubt take some beating here with a pedigree suggesting he will improve further this season but giving 7lb to REAL SMOOTH may prove an insurmountable task after that one's excellent debut in a backend Newmarket maiden with all the right names represented. Recondite appeals most of the three newcomers.
