Much-improved when winning over this trip at Sandown on third start ten days ago, will be in the mix here if able to produce same effort now back on artificial surface.
Dutch Art colt was beaten 10L over 6f at this venue on debut recently, needs to improve significantly to have a say in this.
Footstepsinthesand colt was beaten 6L on debut over 6f at Leicester (good to soft) recently. Yard don't have a strong record with 2yos but could improve on that showing.
Colt bought for 10,000 gns from the first crop of the speedy Swiss Spirit out of a dam who won three sprints. Jockey has been in good form of late and this could be an interesting newcomer.
Promising debut 5f at Doncaster in May, not quite as good later in the month at Hamilton and makes first AW start here. Jury remains out at the moment so market may guide expectations.
Good effort to finish second behind the Royal Ascot winner Heartache on debut over 5f at Bath and has to merit plenty of respect. Entitled to plenty respect now.
Daughter of Dark Angel fetched 62,000 gns as a yearling in October 2016, she made an inauspicious start at Bath over 5f when missing the kick and never threatening to get involved as she ran very green. More required now.
Pivotal filly is a half-sister to 5f-7f winner Amico Americano, there is plenty stamina to be found on the dam's side so this trip on debut could prove sharp enough.
Finished last of 11 when making her debut over 5f at Nottingham (good) last month. Raced alone on that occasion and may fare better in this.
Exceed and Excel filly is related to plenty winners, but she was beaten to the tune of 14¾L last month on debut at Windsor over this trip and will have to improve in a big way to land this prize.

Fab (7/4), Branscombe (3/1), Story Minister (7/2), Followthesteps (7/1), Midnight Blue (10/1), Arty But Poor (16/1), Spirited Boss (20/1), Rue Cambon (20/1), Fortunate Vision (20/1), Glamorous Rocket (66/1), Peas On Earth (100/1)
Branscombe took a big step forward on his third start to score at Sandown recently and will be a major player here if bringing that same form to the AW with him. He's feared but it is hard not to pay close attention to FAB given she was only beaten by subsequent Queen Mary winner Heartache on debut at Bath. That form stands out in this context and so she gets the vote. Fortunate Vision is a newcomer worth paying attention to while Story Minister would have claims if repeating the debut effort at Doncaster.
