Race preview
A race that often acts as an audition for Royal Ascot and despite a small turnout, this race promises plenty, with two unbeaten colts taking on a couple of well-bred newcomers. Aidan O'Brien sends over Sierra Blanca and the fact that the Ballydoyle maestro pitches him in at this level on debut is noteworthy in itself. However, he may have his work cut out against PERSIAN FORCE, who could hardly have been more impressive when landing the Brocklesby. Holguin created a good impression when making a winning debut at this track last month and can figure, with the speedily-bred debutant Indian Renegade, a stablemate of the selection, also worth a market check.
