A race which promises to be informative with regards the future as much as anything else with a number of well bred newcomers amongst the field. Aidan O'Brien saddles three horses, Bond Street, Madrid, and THE PENTAGON. The first named looks the stables first string on riding arrangements and holds some decent future entries, but there is also plenty to like about the pedigree of the others, so there's probably little to choose between the trio. Of the remainder, Drapers Guild, Caffe Macchiato, Verbal Dexterity and Zayriyan should all have decent futures.
