Formscan - WHISTLEJACKET tasted defeat at short odds on his debut over 6f at the Curragh back in April, but he quickly made amends with an impressive victory in Listed company over 5f there most recently, beating the reopposing Arizona Blaze into second. With that effort still fresh in the mind, this full-brother to Little Big Bear gets the vote to emulate his sire, No Nay Never, who took this prize back in 2013. There was little to separate Shareholder (first) and Moving Force (second) when the pair met over 5f at Beverley earlier this month and, with the latter-mentioned 7lb better off on this occasion, it would be no surprise if he were able to get the better of his old adversary and emerge as the main danger to the selection. Tropical Storm and Milford are a couple of others who warrant respect.

Quotes on Arizona Blaze (GB)
The plan was to drop him out and come from behind, but there was no pace early on and he had choice but to go on. He stuck at it very well. He's still not the finished article, there is more improvement in him between now and the Coventry. He was an early horse, but we gave him an easy time of it after that to give him time to grow into himself. The last day he got beat here he wouldn't have been 110 per cent. He had a right little bit of a blow after that race so he'll come on again.

Quotes on Evening Saigon (IRE)
he is a lovely colt, we bought him from Tally-Ho (Stud) at the Craven Breeze-Up six weeks ago and has been very professional since he came home. He has had a couple of days away, he works with Red Evolution which finished third at the Curragh on Saturday and that told us that we hadn't a bad bunch. He is entered in the Railway (Stakes) and it is possible he could go to Ascot.
