5/2
Goodwood debut winner found Group Two Superlative Stakes latest a bridge too far at this early stage but this Champagne Stakes entry should be more at home here and is highly respected despite the 6lb penalty.
Gleneagles newcomer cost €90,000 as a yearling and her two elder siblings are both winners over middle distances. Trainer 1-29 with two-year-olds this season so best watched.

Colt by super-sire Dubawi the first foal from a well related Listed winning dam effective at up to 1m. Hails from arguably the best yard in the country where two-year-olds are concerned so highly respected and sure to know the job on debut.

Newcomer by Dubawi the first foal out of a Listed-placed 10.5f AW winner from a good middle distance family. Hails from the champion trainer's yard which won this race a year ago so merits maximum respect on debut.

Newcomer from the first crop of Derby/Arc winner Golden Horn is a half-brother to three winners from 1m1f to 1m4f. Yard know the time of day where two-year-olds are concerned and respect level would be raised if market vibes strong.

32,000gns yearling is the second foal; from a well related Listed-placed 1m1f/1m2f winner. Yard well renowned for taking time with two-year-olds so in the best watched list here.

Dark Angel colt, cost €250,000 as a yearling. Dam a juvenile winner over 7f and half-sister to Group 3 winner. Very green and outpaced on debut at Salisbury in June but been gelded since. Should do a great deal better but best watched.

Although a disappointment at Group Two level latest WILD THUNDER remains a colt of considerable promise and even with his penalty it will take a smart newcomer to beat him so he gets the vote here. Dubawi debutants Discovery Island and Diyari hail from two of the most prolific yards in the land where two-year-olds are concerned so both are highly respected on their respective racecourse bows.
  1. Wild Thunder
  2. Discovery Island
  3. Diyari
