Colony gets the narrow vote in a wide open maiden, Cossack Prince and Elliwan could be the main rivals. Sir Michael Stoute's colt was an expensive purchase and showed plenty of promise on his debut. He was green in the early stages of that Sandown contest but got the hang of things late on and was staying nicely at the death. The extra furlong should suit and improvement is expected. Cossack Prince also displayed ability on his first start in a hot race at Newmarket and has plenty of scope to progress. World Of Choice comes into the same category and Elliwan should be watched in the market for his debut. All in all a very difficult race to call, but we will just side with Colony.
