Race preview
NEVER BACK DOWN has done nothing but improve in three starts to date and wasn't beaten far into sixth in the Listed Two-Year-old Trophy at Redcar last time. Ryan Moore takes over the reigns and he looks sure to mount a bold bid. Red Roman has more miles on the clock but has to be respected finishing fourth, and three-quarters of a length, in front of the selection at Redcar, while Rebel Assault will go close if arriving in the same determined mood as when scoring gamely at York. Speak In Colours, Mutaaqeb and Staxton complete the shortlist.
