Formscan  - Naval Light almost atoned for a luckless run in Norfolk at Royal Ascot with a rallying second in a similar event over 6f at Goodwood last month. Slowly away that day, he stayed on well enough to suggest stepping up to 7f should be fine. Frescobaldi represents Aidan O'Brien/Ballydoyle and appeals after two promising starts in Ireland. However, this race is about deep potential and none fits the bill more than INISHBEG. Having cost 500,000gns as a yearling, the son of Ghaiyyath runs for highly respected connections whose decision to pitch him at this level on debut is a telling indication of expectations. New Monarch and Beny Nahar are other compelling options.
