The market should prove informative ahead of this relatively valuable maiden, but Irish Derby entrant ATOMIC CITY sets a fair standard on his debut third here and with improvement expected, he gets the nod. Newcomer Glyfada also holds a Group 1 entry and makes plenty of pedigree appeal, while Pendulum looks the pick of the Ballydoyle trio on jockey bookings.
