The first really major 2-y-o race of the year, one which is often a strong pointer to future events at the highest level, 7 of the last 10 winners having scored in Group 1 company subsequently, 5 of those at 2 yrs, 4 on a return to the Royal meeting, 3 in a classic, and it will be a serious disappointment if Calyx doesn't add to their number, a fair bit better than the result indicates too, having raced in the seemingly disadvantaged stands side group, in command on that side nearly 2f out, and running on too stoutly for the closers in the far side group, the next pair home good enough to have won one of the lesser recent runnings of the race.
