Race preview
This could be an informative race with a view to next year's Classics, and the Aidan O'Brien-trained MILWAUKEE fits the bill. Entered in the Vertem Futurity later this month, the son of Justify looks set to follow a similar path to stablemate Luxembourg, who landed that contest last year before his run in the 2,000 Guineas. The Derby could be in his sights, too, but connections will be hopeful he can pass this test first. Harsh finished a good fourth on his racecourse debut last month and is fancied to go close with improvement likely, along with 100,000-euro purchase Trachonitus. North Dorset shouldn't be underestimated either.
