Selected odds by:
Related to several winners including owners' Jaega, runner-up in Group 3 Blue Wind Stakes here in May. Yard's debutants usually need experience.
Dandy Man half-brother to useful winners Twin Star and Another Story, out of an unraced half-sister to Oh So Sharp Stakes winner Protectress. Underrated yard responsible for very talented juvenile Lady Kaya.
Galileo colt, and the first foal of Group 2 Duke of Cambridge Stakes winner Duntle. Looks powerful yard's main hope here, and high on any shortlist.
Dark Angel half-brother to 7f winner Grand Spirit. Only minor appeal on paper, but yard has had a couple of maiden winners from limited 2-y-o runners this year, so not discounted entirely.
Full-brother to useful 6f/7f winner Penny Pepper, and half-brother to several other winners. Yard 2-30 with juveniles on turf this year, and likely to benefit from initial experience.
By Galileo out of triple Group 1 winner Moonlight Cloud, and makes plenty of appeal on pedigree, for all Ryan Moore seems to prefer Circus Maximus. Entered in National Stakes, and market useful.
By War Front out of Oaks winner Was. Another superbly-bred colt from this dominant yard, and he has entries in several Group races to suggest he's held in high regard.
Half-brother to 1m/1m1f winner Mind The Slope and useful winner 6f-1m winner Rogue. Price dropped when resold as a yearling, and already gelded.
Footstepsinthesand colt out of an unraced mare. Moderate appeal on paper, although sales price did rise to €49,000 as a yealing. Both yard's juvenile winners this year came with debutants.
Invincible Spirit half-brother to useful winners Devotee and Flight Officer, out of a 1m/1m1f winner. Yard 17-77 with two-year-old runners this year, and always to be respected in such races.
Half-brother to several winners, including useful 1m-1m5f winner Adilapour. Price increased to €75,000 last year, but yard just 1-15 with its juveniles in 2018.
Full-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Dark Blue, and represents same trainer as Inflection Point, so market will help to separate the pair, both of make some appeal on paper.
Elzaam half- brother to smart 6f-1m winner Capt Chaos. Yard also represented by Breaking Story, who appears the pick on riding arrangements.
Rip Van Winkle colt out of a French 1m/1m1f winner. Rare 2-y-o runner for top jumps yard, and probably best watched.
€40,000 Elzaam colt out of an unraced mare. Yard also represented by Jasikan, but a little slow to get going with juveniles this year by usual standards.
Full-brother to several winners, including 2-y-o winners Conquistadorkitten and Nepeta. Already gelded, and yard just 3-60 with 2-y-o runners in 2018.
No Nay Never colt out of multiple fibresand winner Hannahs Turn. Tongue tied for debut, but trainer/jockey combination have a 25% strike rate with juveniles, so not ignored.
Homebred colt whose dam won over 1½m on debut; fitting of a tongue tie for debut is a worrying sign, and others more appealing on paper.
€100,000 Iffrajj half-brother to a 2-y-o 1m winner. Yard also has Puma Strike, but record with juveniles this year is not especially encouraging.
Bated Breath filly out of an unraced mare from a good staying family. Yard 10-62 with juveniles in 2018, so this filly can't be ignored, for all she will do better in time.
Elusive Pimpernel half-sister to 5f winner Johnny Lawman and 6f/7f winner Strong Michel. Tongue tied for debut, and represents first 2-y-o runner for small yard.
Mastercraftsman filly out of a lightly-raced maiden. Just a little appeal on breeding, but yard can ready a newcomer, so not dismissed out of hand.
Zoffany filly out of a once-raced maiden. Yard 1-107 with two-year-olds in last five years.

Aidan O'Brien dominates this in terms of entries, with all three of his runners making plenty of appeal on paper, and the market will be useful in separating them. Ryan Moore rides Circus Maximus, but FRESNO holds some eye-catching entries, and this son of top-notch miler Moonlight Cloud just shades it on paper. Globe Theatre and Ger Lyons's Inflection Point also fit the bill, and need consideration.
