FormscanBy Michael Graham - AESOP'S FABLES is a Nay Nay Never colt with a big shout. He is unbeaten after two outings including when asserting to win a Group 2 over CD last month. He looks the one to beat with cut in the ground likely to favour him. If some of the 'big guns' fail to fire on this ground, Shartash could do better than his odds would suggest. He has been priced up as the outsider of the field, however, he has won on yielding to soft ground and is far from out of it on ratings. He is up in trip for this assignment. British-raider Marbaan ran on strongly for Jamie Spencer to bring up his hat-trick in a Group 2 at Goodwood. He's certainly progressive, but probably wouldn't welcome too much rain. Hans Andersen and Proud And Regal are held by Aesop's Fables on previous runs.
