Verdict
An excellent contest for the AW. Showmethedough and Swiss Chocolate are interesting newcomers, while Miss Dd and Moseeb boast a fair level of form. However, Royal Ascot's Windsor Castle Stakes in which MOKAATIL was fourth and Corinthia Knight ninth holds the key. The selection has an 8lb pull and ought to confirm the form, although it should be noted that his main rival has already proven himself on artificial surfaces.
