10/11
Ran to a useful level on just his second start when 14¾ lengths tenth of 17 to Desert Crown in Derby at Epsom (12f, good) 42 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Takes a marked drop in grade on first run for yard after leaving J. S. Moore and is the one to beat.

Forecasts

El Habeeb (10/11), Aimeric (7/4), Luttrell Lad (6/1), Ain't No Sunshine (16/1), Chuvelo (33/1), Herbertandflorence (150/1)

Verdict

EL HABEEB was probably a shade flattered in the Derby, but he still has to be considered the one to beat taking a marked drop in grade on his first run for a new yard. Aimeric remains capable of better now stepping up in trip following a break and can give him most to think about.
