Verdict

It would be disappointing if ONE NUMBER couldn't get off the mark. The only member of the field with experience, Joseph O'Brien's colt made the frame at Listed level at Naas before appearing to have a valid excuse on softer ground at Galway, and the combination of first-time cheekpiece along with the return to a mile can also benefit him. There are some interesting newcomers, including Royal Acclamation whose grand-dam was a dual Grade 1 winner in the US, and Blueabad.

Top Tip: One Number (5)
Watch out for: Royal Acclamation (6)

The market is going to be the best guide to the newcomers, the most likely of whom on paper is Royal Acclamation from the Godolphin team. Blueabad is nicely related and by the speed and precocity influence Blue Point and may also go well. It is hard though to make a case for any of them beating ONE NUMBER who ran resopectably in a very good 7f maiden last time looking to need further and had been placed in a one mile Listed race prior to that.
