Aidan O'Brien has won five of the last seven renewals of this race with Ryan Moore on board for three of those wins and he sides with CIRCUS MAXIMUS here. The Galileo colt looks certain to appreciate this step up in trip after a fine effort when finishing fourth behind Saturday's 2,000 Guineas winner Magna Grecia in Doncaster's Vertem Futurity Trophy in October. Fox Chairman rates as a fascinating contender on just his second start and he can improve plenty for his win last time out. Mohawk is already proven at a higher level than this and can't be ruled out, despite having to concede a penalty to the field.
