Hard to pick too many holes in the debut win of Apres Dark at Newmarket but he does face a rather different test here under a penalty on a different surface over a trip that will prove a much sharper test. For that reason it may be worth siding with the Goodwood third THE PRINCES POET from a yard going well with their 2yo’s. He showed more than enough promise on debut against two above-average types to be the selection here. Of the newcomers both Echo Beach and Roman Dynasty look of interest although the first-named may well need a stiffer test to see him at his best.
