Racing Post verdict
Third-partyJoulany arrives here with a strong form profile built on consistent improvement, his latest run in an elite maiden seeing him finish just behind a horse who subsequently ran with great credit in the Derby — form that reads significantly better with hindsight. He has already demonstrated he can handle a quick surface over this exact trip, which gives him an important edge over several rivals for whom this distance or ground remains untested, and the application of a tongue-tie and gelding operation suggest connections are readying him for a career-best effort. Tierra Del Toro, Al Azd and Enceladus all hold legitimate claims — the last of those carrying a notable booking and looking interesting on breeding over the mile and a half — but none matches Joulany on our figures, where he sits a clear ten pounds clear of the field. **Joulany** is our selection.
