Kyle, Cadeaux du Monde and Heroes are three to focus on here with the vote given to Kyle. The selection has only had the two runs but he improved from his debut when finishing third behind Captain Marvellous at Chester. He is clearly going the right way and if he handles the ground he should take plenty of beating. Cadeaux du Monde is more exposed than our selection but he does have form on a soft surface and he has to enter calculations. Heroes showed plenty of promise on his debut when finishing third behind Bertoliver. He should improve for the experience and is one to note in the market. There are some interesting newcomers here so a watching brief on the market is advised and with Walter Swinburn's string in good order Icony could be interesting at a big each-way price. However, for the winner we are happy to stick with Kyle.
