Nathaniel colt, cost 525,000 gns as a yearling. Dam won six races including the Group Two May Hill Stakes. Sure to want further than this but trainer's newcomers have been going well and he should be capable of putting up a good performance. Holds a Derby entry.

Dam improved significantly as a three-year-old. Runner-up has since franked the form of his latest effort. Yard struck form with a treble on Saturday and won this in 2015.

Beaten favourite on both starts having missed the break. Stable's three-year-olds are going well at the moment but can ill afford to miss the break around this circuit.

200,000 gns yearling by Zoffany out of Glympse, and a half-brother to four winners including Supercharged (5f) and Glance My Way (1m2f). Holds a Derby entry. Green on debut at Nottingham and may need even more time, particularly with stable yet to get going.

Weak in the market ahead of Wolverhampton debut and never travelling well. Needs to improve significantly but yard have a 3-8 record here.

Fetched €58,000 as a foal but just €12,000 as a yearling. Dam won one of her three starts. Jockey booking indicates this run is likely to be needed.

Had the run of the race last time in a race which has worked out well. Showed significant improvement from his debut and market will indicate how well he has wintered.

Interesting newcomer being by Dubawi out of a prolific winning mare who landed a Group Two race at Meydan. Holds an entry in the Irish 2000 Guineas. One of three for the trainer in this and another to check in the market.

Little promise in two runs last year. Yard's three-year-olds have been going well but he looks one for future handicaps.

Bought for just 3,000 gns and meets more likely types on her racecourse debut. Yard are 1-21 at this venue.

Forecasts

Alfarris (15/8), Mabrook (3/1), Abjar (10/3), Accento (8/1), Paradise Lake (14/1), Al Galayel (14/1), Falbon (20/1), Ascot Week (25/1), Borntosin (100/1), Kimene (100/1)

Verdict

Marco Botti saddles three in this with Mabrook catching the eye on pedigree and with a Group One entry in his diary. Sir Michael Stoute saddles two with Abjar looking the clear pick of the pair. His breeding and future entries (including the Derby) suggest he will be better over further. Alfarris was sent off favourite for both juvenile starts but missed the break on both occasions. ACCENTO represents a yard who are just beginning to strike form. He has lost nothing in defeat in two races which have worked out well. He was just behind another Marco Botti horse, Qatar Man, last time. He has gone on to win a maiden and then to be placed in Listed company at Meydan. That form sets a good standard and it will take a good horse to beat him.
