Verdict

Simon Crisford's OSTILIO was runner-up behind a subsequent Group 1 winner here on his penultimate run and has since landed a win at Newmarket in fine style, shaping as if here will be more to come from him. He's open to defying his latest penalty and should run well. Il Primo Sole found things tough in the French 2000 Guineas but there's a suspicion he could be on a decent mark dropped back in to handicap company here. Unexposed Doncaster winner Sam Gold gets first-time headgear and is open to further progress.
  1. Ostilio
  2. Il Primo Sole
  3. Sam Gold
