66/1

Beaten 34L on his debut over 7f at Lingfield he's the only runner in this race with any racecourse experience. Well held last time out it takes a large stretch of the imagination to see him getting involved in this.

30/100

Stable's 2yo newcomers have a 41% strike-rate (14-34) this year; by Medaglia D'oro cost $1.3m as a yearling. Dam US winner at up to 1m1f; plenty of other useful relations on the distaff side; hard to oppose given the form of the yard in this sphere.

With Promise

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: D R Lanigan

14/1

Only the second juvenile newcomer of the season for the stable (yard's 2yo's usually need the run). 100,000 guineas yearling by Shamardal, brother to Listed-placed 7f winner Good Effort. Given yard's record best watched on debut.

Zafeer

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: M Botti

13/2

Yard don't have a hugely impressive record with 2yo newcomers which doesn't augur that well for this son of Deep Impact. Brother to Navadir, half-brother to Australian 5.5f winner Rabhaan. Placed effort more likely than a winning one first time out.

Collette

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: H Palmer

8/1

Yard have had a couple of first-time out 2yo winners this year (2-14 overall). Sole filly in the field cost just 8,000 guineas as a yearling. Dam lightly raced half-sister to smart 6f winner Newfangled (by New Approach).

Give the scorching pace set by Charlie Appleby with his two-year-old newcomers SUN CUISINE looks an interesting debutante with his pedigree making particular appeal in a race where experience is in short supply. The market may provide the best clues as to who is going to be the main danger with the 100,000 guineas purchase With Promise a contender although the first-time record of the stable with juveniles is a little off-putting. Therefore, Zafeer and Collette are seen as the pair to fill out the places.
