Incidentally gets the confident vote in this maiden with King of Argos and King Kasyapa rated as the main dangers. The selection has done little wrong in his four starts to date, including in a handicap at Goodwood last time when he was narrowly beaten by Zamala. He looks to have been found a good opportunity here to get his head in front and it will be a surprise if he is not good enough to lead them home. King Of Argos is a well-bred colt but on the evidence we have seen so far it doesn't appear as though he is going to live up to his pedigree. He put in a fair effort last time behind Bandama at Newbury but he may have to settle for a minor role today. King Kasyapa is lightly-raced and has been running in better company than this in France so he is not one to dismiss lightly. Montana Sky is an interesting newcomer and is another to consider, but for the winner we will return to Incidentally.
