Richard Fahey thinks Shadow Party is his best juvenile. A son of Showcasing he overcame greenness to win a York novice last month. The runner-up has since gone onto win a French Listed race so the form has been boosted. He’s open to plenty of improvement and looks the one to beat. 

Managed to post a winning debut in a York novice despite running green throughout; beat four with experience there (runner-up won French Listed race since) and improvement seems likely; strong contender 

Aidan O’Brien has won this race three times since 2015 and saddles a couple of well fancied contenders in Treasure Isle, the choice of Ryan Moore and Celtic Chieftain. Treasure Isle got off the mark at the second attempt when winning a Naas last month. Celtic Chieftain beat 15 rivals to win a Navan maiden 11 days ago. Like his stablemate he’s a son of No Nay Never and both are open to improvement. 

Ain't Nobody travelled and showed a good professional attitude to win on racecourse debut at Carlisle (good to soft) 19 days ago. Quicker ground but he should handle it. Jamie Spencer has been booked and he and trainer Kevin Ryan combined to have the runner-up in this race in 2015. 

American challenger Gabaldon showed plenty of speed to win a 5f race at Gulfstream last month. Visually impressive in victory he needs be taken very seriously on quick ground.

Ain’t Nobody: each way bet  – 20/1
