380,000 guineas son of Kodiac gelded before winning debut at Chelmsford last week. Looked quite useful winning with plenty in hand and hails from top yard, so may well be up to giving away weight all round

Havana Gold gelding beaten out of sight in both racecourse appearances. Hard to fancy in this company and likely to need more time.

50,000 guineas Acclamation yearling has shown ability on both starts, running well when second here over 6f last time. Extra furlongs should be no problem and won't be too far away once again.

Decent pedigree from successful yard, but this Helmet colt has disappointed in all three starts thus far being slowly away on each occasion. First time cheekpieces may help, but he needs to find plenty of improvement to figure.

Interesting Showcasing newcomer from a family of middle distance performers on the dam side. Sure to need further before too long, but any sign of market interest would be worth taking into account.

Ran green on debut here over 6f but appeared to be getting the hang of things in the closing stages. Should have learned plenty from that experience and this trip looks ideal so may run a decent race.

Looked clueless on Wolverhampton debut when beating just one home in a field of 11. Too early to competely dismiss this Dragon Pulse filly but she may need plenty more time.

Canford Cliffs half-sister to decent Off Limits and three other winners. Cost 80,000 euros as a yearling and looks the part on paper with yard capable of getting one ready first time out. Certainly of interest if market speaks in her favour.

Forecasts

Vale Of Kent (4/11), Dubai Acclaim (11/4), Lumi (8/1), Dubai Landmark (14/1), Good Boy Alfie (16/1), Wilde Oscar (25/1), Biscuit Billy (50/1), Allleedsaren'twe (66/1), Anythingwithapulse (100/1)

Verdict

VALE OF KENT is a confident choice having looked to possess plenty of ability when scoring on debut at Chelmsford recently. Despite giving away weight all round it would be a surprise if he fails to follow up. The most interesting rival is the unraced filly Lumi, who has a decent pedigree and hails from a very shrewd yard, while Dubai Acclaim, ridden by a former champion jockey this time, might also give the selection a run for his money. Wilde Oscar cannot be ruled out of it either.
