Verdict

With 3-y-os having an excellent recent record in this race, it may pay to concentrate on COCKADE and Princling, who have both won fresh previously. John & Thady Gosden's charge narrowly shades the vote, with Collecting Coin the pick of the older horses.

8	From an excellent family that connections know well. Confirmed the promise of his strong debut form when winning on reappearance at Windsor (1m). Underdone by lingering greenness when third at Newmarket subsequently. Has more upside than the rest of these and may well make another successful return. 1st Pick 8 Cockade Jockey: William Buick Trainer: John & Thady Gosden J: William Buick T: John & Thady Gosden	97	-	-	-	36%

11	Strong 2-y-o form prior to making a winning return at Wetherby in April. Couldn't repeat his fine 2½-length fifth in the Golden Gates (1½m) when turned out fairly quickly at Newmarket in July. Since given a break/gelded by his excellent yard (has won fresh) and fancied to go well over a stiff 1m. 2nd Pick 11 Princling Jockey: Tom Marquand Trainer: William Haggas J: Tom Marquand T: William Haggas	100	-	-	-	34%

2	Cemented his fine start for present yard when length fifth of 17 in a Premier Handicap at Leopardstown (7f) last time. Caught the eye with how he travelled that day and still relatively unexposed over 1m. Interesting contender among the older brigade. 3rd Pick 2 Collecting Coin Jockey: George Wood Trainer: Jennie Candlish J: George Wood T: Jennie Candlish	97	-	-	-	8%	Scratched
