In an open-looking renewal of this prestigious race, WHISTLEJACKET could be the answer. The No Nay Never colt was one of last season's leading 2-y-os at this trip and the way he shaped in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot, where he got no sort of a run, suggested that there may yet be more to come from him this year. If last season's Guineas winner Notable Speech copes with this drop in trip he will be a big threat, while Flora Of Bermuda and Believing are also strong candidates.
