VERDICT
Icon Dream and Zayaan have interesting form, especially the latter, whose 3/4l behind Free Judgement (2nd behind Canford Cliffs yesterday) could turn out to be decent form. SHINTO is well thought of by his connections and has a Irish Derby entry.The worry is that his win last time out doesn’t give great encouragement as the three he beat have all been well beaten since.(Tony McCormick)

VERDICT
I’d be more interested in Termagant if she had the benefit of a run this season. Lillie Langtry has Johnny Murtagh up, but do horses’ come back from a bad injury to take a Guineas? Lady Springbank could go well at a big price, while, MUSIC SHOW led those from a bad draw at Newmarket and will take all the beating here for an English Guineas double weekend.(Tony McCormick)
