The only runners with experience are the Hannon colts French Affair and Secret Santa, who both look open to improvement. There are several interesting types among the newcomers, most notably WORDS OF TRUTH, Title Role, Humidity and Lohoobb in that order of preference. The betting should give further guidance.[Steve Boow]

Mehmas colt who showed some promise in small field at Newmarket (5f) on 1,000 Guineas day, while shaping as if this extra furlong will suit; one of only two runners who have the benefit of experience.
Brother to 7f/1m scorer Holloway Boy (including 2yo/Group 3; RPR 113), out of unraced granddaughter of Cheveley Park winner; suitably bred and represents notable connections; likely sort.
30,000gns yearling; by Saxon Warrior out of Group-placed 5f 2yo winner (RPR 100); others have stronger-looking credentials overall; best watched unless the betting suggests otherwise.
