Newmarket - 14:45 BST

Andre Fabre sends Trident here, along with Mickael Barzalona which is a rarity, so they must feel he is a smart one. He's got the form to back it up, but I feel on balance is opposable up to 7f. His Damsire finished hard held in a group 1 here so there is a fair argument that he might not handle the track as well, which is what I'm happy enough to hang my hat on with the trainer sending to one to this previously that didn't win. Ring Of Beara shares a sire with Trident, both by Wootton Bassett who has a poor record here, so that is a record that both will have to overcome. I think there is some hope in his 2 runs so far, with more to come hopefully. The selection was held well enough by Imperial Fighter on debut, but that horse is now rated 102 having beaten Noble Truth and chased home Royal Patronage last time, so it's solid form with the latter being a short price for the Group 2 Royal Lodge.
