Verdict

A Dubawi colt out of the brilliant Enable, ENTRUST will likely attract most attention on debut. Any strong support for John & Thady Gosden's charge could prove significant and he may prove successful at the first time of asking. The 800,000-euro purchase Age Of Reason could prove best of the three runners sporting the Godolphin colours, while Laurel Crown is partnered by Oisin Murphy and makes more appeal than stable companion Vallejo.

Top Tip: Entrust (3)
Watch out for: Age Of Reason (1)

This has the look of a hot race with ENTRUST the suggestion with him being a son of Dubawi and out of the same connections exceptional dual Arc winner Enable. Many by his sire relish soft ground and he's taken to strike to at the first attempt. Despite William Buick riding Age Of Reason, it's stablemate Zajal who is put forward as the selection. The son of Zarak, who is related to some smart performers, is expected to relish the conditions and has the assistance of Ryan Moore.
