Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: R Ffrench| T: A West

80/1

25,000 euros yearling who is the only four-year-old in this contest. Has to give plenty of weight away to all of his rivals and he is readily opposed on debut.

8/1

Four-race maiden who went well on sole AW start. Made handicap debut in a competitive heat at Newmarket (1m; good to firm) recently. Not open to as much progress as some of these returned to this company.

Dante's View

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P J McDonald| T: Sir Michael Stoute

12/1

One of two representatives for trainer. Newcomer who is by Galileo and although the yard don't have many winners first time out, he could be good enough to buck the trend. Betting informative for his chances.

Dilmun Dynasty²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Sir Michael Stoute

11/8

Very well-bred sort who cost 1,000,000gns as a yearling. Made a pleasing start to life when third on debut at Newmarket (1m2f; good to firm). Yard like to educate their newcomers, so he should be a different proposition now on his second start.

Durrell⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 84| BF

11/4

Slightly disappointing that he couldn't justify favouritism (15/8F) on seasonal return when runner-up at Windsor (1m; good). Now has a handicap mark, so interesting connections are persevering in maidens with him.

Ironclad⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P Cosgrave| T: H Palmer

9/2

Probably ran to a similar level than he did on debut when fifth last time at Doncaster (1m2f; good) in what was a warm maiden. Related to some smart sorts and despite the 70-day absence causing somewhat of a concern, he should have more to offer.

Isaac Murphy

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R P Downey| T: M H Tompkins

80/1

By Medaglia d'Oro. Debutante who is related to four winners. Trainer has not had a single winner from 28 runners this year. Best watched until entering handicaps.

Form:

Ned Pepper

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽⁵⁾| T: A King

66/1

By Intello. Has been gelded ahead of making debut. Has a strong-staying pedigree and dual-purpose yard do well on the flat, but not readily associated with winning newcomers. Probably wants further than 1m2f.

Form:

(13)

Red Secret

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: B Doyle| T: E A L Dunlop

25/1

Lemon Drop Kid colt who made 80,000gns as a yearling. Dam won on the AW. Should have a future for connections who have done so well with such types in the past. Market probably the best guide to his chances.

Second Sight¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Aled Beech⁽⁷⁾| T: C Fellowes

80/1

Has been unable to land a blow on both starts to date and is able to qualify for handicaps after taking in this assignment. Should have more enjoyment in that code. Best watched for the time being.

Star Talent³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: T P Queally| T: Miss Gay Kelleway

66/1

Hard to assess the strength of her recent effort at Saint-Cloud when he finished sixth. Previous effort before that when making debut at Newcastle was modest and others are far more appealing.

Form:

(14)

Gallatin

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Joey Haynes| T: A M Balding

20/1

Kingman filly who represents leading connections. Related to plenty of winners. Yard currently enjoying 29% strike-rate with two-year-olds this year and she is an interesting newcomer. Watch betting.

Form:

Jaidaa²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford

22/1

Couldn't really say she improved from her debut, as she was beaten a long way despite finishing fourth at Newmarket (1m4f; good) last time in a modest Novice at Newmarket. Should appreciate drop down to 1m2f, but lots to prove.

A well-contested maiden to end proceedings which looks set to rest between the two powerful stables of Sir Michael Stoute and John Gosden. The expensive DILMUN DYNASTY made a typical debut as one from his yard would when not given too hard a time of things to finish third at Newmarket. He will have learnt plenty from that and can take this before going on to bigger and better things. Similar comments apply to Swift Wing who wasn't beaten far at Ascot and achieved a similar level of form to the selection that day. He should give that rival plenty to think about. Dante's View makes his debut and although unlikely to be straightforward enough to win, could sneak third.
