Tries blinkers after a luckless string of results; his consistency has been admirable but he's 0-7 and is beginning to be expensive to follow. Does set a good standard for the rest to aim at but he's very vulnerable to less exposed types.
Made very little impression in an ordinary maiden at Chelmsford last August and had wind surgery since that racecourse debut. Bred to appreciate synthetics as much as anything but he's an interesting contender for a race like this. One to monitor.
No interest from the betting market when he was last of ten on debut at Yarmouth last month and a near transformation is now required. Hard to recommend on the evidence of his racecourse bow.
Missed the break and was always struggling on debut at Newmarket in early June. He's bred to be much better than that and his trainer has hardly put a foot wrong since. One to closely monitor.
Cost €340,000, he's a half-brother to a couple of useful performers between 7f and 1m; his dam won the Group 1 Moyglare Stakes (7f) as a youngster, so plenty to like about the pedigree. Yard has made a quiet start to the campaign, though.
Not given a hard to time when her chance slipped by on debut at racing HQ last August; but a couple of winners came out of the race and it's interesting she's been given plenty of time. The likeable pedigree and top yard combine to boost her appeal.
Never better than her finishing position of fifth on debut at Yarmouth last month but she's open to improvement and the step up to a mile should suit. Lacks the gloss of one or two of the others but still one to note for the future.
£35,000 yearling that is a half-sister to a winning sprinter and Destiny Of Dreams, who won over an extended 9f-1m2f; her dam was placed in Listed company over 6f at juvenile. The filly can only go on from here.
Showed some promise on debut but she was far less impressive last time out and no surprise to see her tried in headgear (reared at the start latest and never a factor as a result). Others readily make more appeal.

Star Of Wins (11/4), A La Voile (16/5), Arabian Moon (16/5), Tawtheef (10/3), Giuseppe Cassioli (11/2), Faene Queene (12/1), Daheer (16/1), Fair Man (100/1), Voice Of Dubawi (125/1), Num Num (150/1)
Plenty of these should improve and it will be interesting to see how the form pans out from now on. However, given the past record held by Sir Michael Stoute when sending out an unexposed three-year-old, A LA VOILE edges preference as the one to be on for now. She's related to a number of classy types who improved with age and the well-bred daughter of Invincible Spirit catches the imagination as she starts off her 2020 campaign. Giuseppe Cassioli has a race within him, as does Arabian Moon so merits a betting check even though he's already had a good number of chances.
