PreviewsA competitive renewal of this contest and the vote is for ARMORY, who showed a high level of ability as a juvenile. He won the Futurity prior to chasing home Pinatubo in the National Stakes, while he was only narrowly behind Victor Ludorum and Alson in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagadere and those two finished first and third respectively in the French Guineas. The unbeaten Siskin is an obvious threat but he will have to improve to beat the selection, judging on his two successes at the expense of Monarch Of Egypt. The well-bred Vatican City merits plenty of respect, while similar comments apply to Royal Lytham.
