40/1
Lightly-raced Group 3 winner. 20¾ lengths seventh of 8 to Battle Cry in Leopardstown 2000 Guineas Trial (7f, heavy, 3/1) on reappearance 48 days ago, finishing tired. Tongue strap reached for after that.

Useful colt. Career best when winning 5-runner listed race over C&D (soft) 19 days ago by length from Norwalk Havoc, comfortably. Plenty to find at this level, though.

6/1
Smart effort to win Craven on Newmarket reappearance. Backed that up when 3¼ lengths third of 11 to Notable Speech in 2000 Guineas there but Rosallion was 1¾ lengths ahead in second. Likely to go well but his stablemate may prove too strong again.

Smart colt. 11/4, creditable 2¼ lengths third of 9 to Vandeek in Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on final 2-y-o start. Steps up 2f in trip on reappearance. Big player.

Group 1 winner over 7f at 2 and saw out the mile well when excellent 1½ lengths second of 11 to Notable Speech in 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on reappearance 3 weeks ago. Reopposing stablemate Haatem was 1¾ lengths back in third on that occasion. Hard to beat.

Useful colt. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Below form 8½ lengths fourth of 8 to Battle Cry in Leopardstown 2000 Guineas Trial (7f, heavy, 3/1) 48 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Chased home Rosallion in Longchamp Group 1 last October before ending his 2-y-o campaign with a win in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita (1m, firm). Thereabouts on form but Ryan Moore seemingly prefers River Tiber.

Forecasts

Rosallion (10/11), River Tiber (3/1), Haatem (6/1), Unquestionable (10/1), Mountain Bear (22/1), Bright Stripes (25/1), Take Me To Church (40/1), Atlantic Coast (40/1)

Verdict

ROSALLION can confirm Newmarket superiority over his stablemate Haatem and land a second Group 1 success of his career. Ryan Moore partners Middle Park third River Tiber and he may prove best of the Ballydoyle trio.
