Form pick ought to have the edge if recent run has not taken it out of him

Norway
3.05 Ascot
SP forecast 7-2

This colt, by Galileo out of a dam who has also produced Ruler Of The World and Duke Of Marmalade, was Ballydoyle's first string for the Chester Vase and, having been second to Sir Dragonet there, arguably raced closer to the pace than ideal in the Derby, ultimately beaten seven lengths in eighth. He has a more convincing profile for this race than stablemate Western Australia and the rest have plenty to find, but that fairly tough race at Epsom was only 18 days ago.

Conclusion Doubts over the quick turnaround persist, but he carries enough of a form edge to encourage a positive view, albeit only just.
