Desert Angel¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon

7/1

Green on Newbury debut and subsequently left that opening run well behind when third of 11 upped to 7f in an Ascot novice. Another step forward needed here, but further progress is entirely possible.

Form: 93

Fulfilled

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Joey Haynes| T: D M Simcock

50/1

Foaled February 7. Ulysses colt. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to smart 7f/1m winner Zibelina. Yard occasionally saddle first-time-out 2-y-o winners, but the vast majority tend to come on for a run.

Globemaster

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: K Shoemark| T: W Jarvis

40/1

Foaled April 2. €20,000 foal, 40,000 gns yearling, Acclamation colt. Brother to 7f winner Popsicle and half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Fly Girl. Worth a peek in the betting.

Golden War³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Spencer| T: C Hills

15/2

Highly encouraging second on Goodwood debut in May and it was no great susprise that he struggled at Royal Ascot next time. Back in calmers waters now and upped to 7f, he's a major player.

Form: 20

Haarar

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: M L W Bell

33/1

Foaled March 30. 50,000 gns yearling. Closely related to useful 7f/7.4f winner Bronte and half-brother to 6f winner Tiburtina and 11.4f-1¾m winner Prince Alex. Watch the betting for clues.

Modern Games²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby

5/2

Failed to land a meaningful blow on debut at Haydock (7f), but that experience won't be wasted on him and he represents the powerful connections that saddled the winner of this maiden 12 months ago.

Form: 5

Saga

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

7/2

Foaled March 25. Brother to smart 6f/7f winner Lockwood and half-brother to smart 2-y-o 1m winner Earnshaw and useful 1½m winner Dubai Welcome. Dam 2-y-o 1m winner. Lots to like on paper.

Subjective Value¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

16/1

Stepped up on debut effort when runner-up in a 7f minor event at Ayr 19 days ago. Likely to pick up a race sooner rather than later, but others make more appeal here.

Form: 42

Thunder Legend

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Marco Ghiani| T: H Palmer

11/4

€120,000 foal, 125,000 gns 2-y-o. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Vitello and out of a 6f/7f winner (including at 2 yrs). Yard can ready a newcomer and interesting to see what the market has to say.

Forecasts

Modern Games (5/2), Thunder Legend (11/4), Saga (7/2), Desert Angel (7/1), Golden War (15/2), Subjective Value (16/1), Haarar (33/1), Globemaster (40/1), Fulfilled (50/1)

MODERN GAMES can be expected to leave his debut form well behind here and is taken to strike for last year's winning connections. Golden War understandably found the Coventry Stakes much too hot and is feared greatly based on his encouraging introduction at Goodwood, while newcomers Saga and Thunder Legend both need close attention in the betting. Desert Angel is also shortlist material.
