FormscanBy Tom Weekes - JOHN STEINBECK's pedigree reads very well and he could be smart. His Group 2-winning dam is a sister to four Group 1 winners including dual classic winner Gleneagles and while he makes a belated debut, does so on a big weekend and Ryan Moore takes the ride. Arnaman ran a notable race on debut last March and has since changed hands. At Dundalk he started a 100/1 shot and chased home last year's Debutante Stakes runner-up Sakti, while the third-placed horse won a maiden subsequently. He has been gelded since and now runs in a first-time tongue-tie. Emerald Eclipse has shown some useful form but is rated just 73 and needs to improve to win.
