Not much form to go on but Richard Hannon's No Nay Never colt ONE MORE shaped well on his debut when running on into second at Kempton and can put that experience to good use here with Ryan Moore in the saddle. Newcomers Arctic Voyage (second choice) and The King's Falcon both bring a fair bit of potential and could emerge as the main dangers, with Make You Smile another debutant to consider.
