Jack Hobbs – does fall in to one my categories to follow when going through a race I.E did something special last time out. This one blitzed a field of handicappers in very taking style and goes on my short list

Elm Park – had the best two year old form from last year, but there has to be a strong doubt about this one staying over a mile on breeding, so I pass this one over

John F Kennedy – the talking horse over the winter from the stable, seemingly disappointed on first run, but that was on very heavy going and the exploits of the 2 that beat it ( both have won since ) say it was not as bad as that run looks at first glance. As long as the going remains good he should show his true colours. Goes on my short list

Golden Horn – is two from two, but has not done anything outstanding and doubt as to staying ability

Ol Man River – obviously had an issue in the guineas and was poorly drawn. I always like to forgive a poor run but Moore would be riding if it was thought capable of beating this field. Has questions to answer, but worth watching rather than backing

Nafaqa/ Medrano/Lord Ben Stack – these three just don’t look good enough and are passed over.

Verdict : I am inclined to lead towards John F Kennedy as the stable confidence is the ones ability seems to be very high and they are usually right. Jack Hobbs is feared most and this run will tell  us how good he could be. But for the here and know JFK at 4/1 (Skybet) is preferred
