Selected odds by:
Son of Oasis Dream who cost 85,000 gns as a yearling and is the first foal of 5f-1m juvenile winner Pure Excellence. Made all when winning 6f maiden at this track, holds some fancy entries and will need to go close in this to justify those.
Promising debut over 6f at Salisbury and appreciated step up to this trip when dead heating for first at Newbury. Going the right way, but will need to continue that upward curve giving away weight to most of his rivals.
Promise on all three starts in novice company, latterly when not beaten too far at Goodwood. Should win a race in due course, but this looks a tough mission.
Dark Angel colt who cost 50,000 gns as a yearling and whose dam won over 1m. Respected stable's winners normally need their initial outing, but he is worth a check in the betting.
Dark Angel colt who cost connections €310,000 as a yearling and whose dam was placed in Listed company as a juvenile. Slowly away and hit the rail when last of five on debut at Chester, but likely to do better this time.
Sent off favourite when third on both starts at Goodwood and Newbury. Clearly well regarded, but has a little to find if he is to make it third time lucky.
Dubawi colt whose dam is a sister to a couple of high-class performers. Attractive pedigree and represents leading connections, but stable's newcomers tend to benefit from their debut runs.
Dubawi colt out of a mare who won in Listed company as a juvenile. Powerful in-form stable can ready one to win first time and he is of significant interest.
American-bred colt who is a half-brother to eight winners from 7f to 1m2f. Stable houses some high-class juveniles, so he is of obvious interest as he makes his debut.
Epaulette colt whose dam won over an extended mile in France. Ran green when a well-held fourth on debut at Sandown, but should improve for the experience and can get closer this time.
Galileo colt who is a half-brother to high-class sprinters Caspian Prince and Spirit Quartz. Excellent pedigree and hails from a yard which has been doing really well with its juveniles.
Gelded son of Society Rock who is a half-brother to six winners at up to 1m. Slowy away when distant last of 11 on debut at Kempton and needs to show dramatic improvement to figure.
War Front colt who is a half-brother to four winners, including Almashooqa. Represents powerful connections and is worth checking in the betting as he makes his debut.

Magic Illusion (1/1), Fox Power (7/1), Repaupo (8/1), Sheila's Showcase (8/1), Double Kodiac (8/1), Faro Angel (12/1), Production (12/1), Turjomaan (16/1), Karnavaal (18/1), Fox Leicester (20/1), Al Fajir Mukbile (20/1), St Peters Basilica (25/1), Savoy Brown (66/1), The Man Of Mode (100/1)
The presence of several choicely-bred newcomers, headed by Magic Illusion and stable companions Repaupo and St Peters Basilica, makes this a fascinating and potentially-informative contest. The market will be important as regards the newcomers, but the form at punters' disposal suggests that PRODUCTION will take some stopping. He looked good when winning on debut at this track, should improve for this longer trip and holds Group race entries in the autumn. Fox Power, Double Kodiac and Sheila's Showcase are others with decent form to their name.
