looks by far the strongest of the trials so far with dual group one & multiple group winners in the field. belardo is a G1 winner but he was beaten by both estidhkaar & ivawood last year & will have to have improved over the winter as although he had estidhkaar behind him in the dewhurst the hannon runner looked below par that day & could well have gone over the top. being by lope de vega he is interesting as a 3yo & i will be watching his offspring closely as i have them down as improving with time. toocoolforschool brings a fair level of form to the table but soft ground may see him improve as he did seem to relish it last time out. muhaarar has it to find with favourite ivawood on there 2yo form & it was a sub standard gimcrack he won & looked a cheap G2. then we have the favourite ivawood & whilst hes obviously decent i'm still not sure he's beaten much & there has to be a massive doubt about him staying this trip on his pedigree as these zebedees dont seem to want to go a yard further than 6f which leaves us with flaming spear. i'm not sure his maiden win will amount to much but he could only beat what was there & he did it well. hes by lope de vega out of a zafonic mare so the step up in trip should more than suit & he was backed as though defeat was out of the question on debut so is clearly held in high regard & with nine runners playing three places he would be my e/w play at around 8/1.
