Epaulette half-brother to connections' 7f winner Good Luck Charm and 1m winner The Shuffler. Yard yet to hit the mark in two-year-old events this year, and others likely to have his measure.
Dark Angel half-brother to Group 3 Darley Stakes (1m1f) winner Monarchs Glen and useful 5f/6f winner Cordial out of Group 1 Prix de La Foret third Mirabilis. Starting off at a suitable trip on pedigree, and merits a market check for powerful yard.
First foal of a maiden half-sister to connections' smart performer Mister Music. Yard 0-19 with 2-y-o's this year, and easy enough to look elsewhere.
Half-brother to a couple of useful winners, and cost 210,000 gns as a yearling. Very green when mid-field on debut at Yarmouth behind Royal Meeting, and should do much better in due course.
Much improved from debut effort when beaten less than ½L into fourth in an extended 7f maiden at Ffos Las, and while the bunched finish might suggest the form is dubious, the second and third have both won since.
Newcomer by Farhh who cost £82,000 as a yearling. First foal of a three-time 7f winner from a smart and speedy family. Likeable pedigree and appears more likely of stable duo on paper, so deserves respect.
Full-brother to 7f-1m5f winner Tenzing Norgay and half-brother to useful 1m5f-2m winner Kashgar and 1m-1¼m winner Miss Turpan out of a half-sister to Group 3 Ormonde Stakes winner Asian Heights. Already gelded, and likely to need time and distance.
Expensive Shamardal half-brother to Dante Stakes winner Bonfire and Musidora Stakes winner Joviality. Not knocked about when 8¼L fourth of 7 to Royal Marine in a 7f maiden at Doncaster on debut, and type to leave that bare form well behind in time.
By Lope de Vega out of a mare who was fourth in the Oaks D'Italia. Representing a powerful yard, although one which has had just a single juvenile winner here in the last five years.
Stable second-string when showing a little ability behind Royal Meeting in a 7f Yarmouth maiden on debut, and again looks the yard's neglected on riding arrangements, so probably one for the longer term.
Impressive 3L winner of an extended 7f novice at Lingfield in August, and probably found softer ground against her when disappointing at Ffos Las subsequently. Can bounce back, but no easy task under a penalty in what could be a warm contest.
Medaglia D'Oro half-sister to useful 1¼m winner Mudaarab out of a winning half-sister to connections' smart 6f/7f winner Anna Nerium. Soon outpaced on debut here last month, and likely to need more time on that evidence.

A tough race to call. KNIGHTSHAYES was probably unsuited by easy ground last time, but had looked an excellent prospect when winning at Lingfield on debut, and may be capable of bouncing back. Monsieur Noir is sure to improve on a considerate introduction, and is feared, along with close Ffos Las fourth Hawridge Storm, with Copal appealing most of the newcomers.
