In depth

Verdict

Dream Shared and Foreigner have to be respected but Mark Johnston's Particle has an obvious chance in this company and he gets the vote. The selection has shown a similar level of form in all three starts so far, should stay this trip and is hard to oppose in a race that should not take a great deal of winning. Henry Cecil's Primitive Academy has disappointed in his last two starts and may now be best watched, while Noddies Way has been found wanting in lesser grade than in the Derby in which he made his debut. Dream Shared has shown ability and has to be respected but is far from certain to stay this far and a bigger threat may come from Foreigner, who should improve with racing as most of the yard's horses do and should stay this trip as well. Particle has solid claims though and is hard to oppose.
