Formscan - The Irish 2000 Guineas form could be the key to this race, with preference for the Aidan O'Brien-trained RIVER TIBER. The son of Wootton Bassett finished just over a length behind Haatem (second), but that was his first run of the campaign and, like many of his stablemates this week, he ought to take a big step forward from that effort. This could possibly be his ideal trip after running well at the top level over sprint distances as a juvenile. As for the latter, he makes his fourth start of the year having improved plenty from his juvenile campaign and he commands the utmost respect, despite dropping back in trip and giving away a 3lb penalty for his Craven success. Of the remainder, the progressive Never So Brave makes the most appeal after his impressive victory in a handicap at Chester last month.
