English Armada is the clear pick of the Anfield Road duo for the premier juvenile classic having shown vastly superior form to maiden Liverpool Tremor but does have a touch of seconditis and is likely to find one or two too good for him again.

Waldpark hails from Ranch Hamburg stable and despite taking ten runs to lose his maiden tag he ran an excellent third to Saturns Kitten and English Armada in the dress rehearsal for this final in his subsequent start and could be coming to hand at the right time.

Maiden Five Dollars runs for Bob Baffert and looks to have a tough task as does Funk another maiden this time from Lanes End Farm.

Who Knows takes his chance for Illiterate Bunch. He clearly can mix it with the best but would prefer a stiffer test of stamina.

Nemesis Stud runs two, Cosmic Destiny and Chancellor and in truth its hard to split them on form. Both should go well but neither expected to take the title.

The field is made up by a trio of runners from Black Cat Racing. On all known form inexpensive purchase Flying Down To Rio will have her hands full trying to keep tabs on the two daughters of Kitten Courage. Splitting these two though looks a tough task. Sonic Kitten, another smart purchase, came out a neck ahead in the rehearsal for this final and they reoppose on identical terms but perhaps homebred Saturns Kitten has the greater scope for improvement.
A thrilling spectacle in prospect in arguably the most open and competitive race of these championships.
