4/9
From the family of outstanding performer Dubai Millennium. Made all, and much improved from debut when winning a 1¼m maiden at Windsor last time by 4L from Rocket Rod. Galloping track will suit, and capable of defying a penalty at this level.

4/1
Has been gelded and had wind surgery since making a fairly promising start at Sandown last year behind subsequent St James's Palace Stakes winner Palace Pier. Sure to do better, and certainly bred that way, so needs a market check.

22/1
Related to winners, and needed the experience when 7L sixth of 11 to King's Castle in a 1¼m novice at Beverley on debut three weeks ago. Should come good somewhere down the line, but no easy task in what looks a warm event.

Horse silk
7/1
Stepped up on his debut effort when third to smart pair Highest Ground and Waldkonig in a 1m2½f novice at Haydock last time. No threat to first two, but was looked after when beaten, and remains capable of better.

Horse silk
250/1
Resold for just 1,000 gns as a yearling, and has been soundly beaten in two starts to date. Most unlikely to trouble the judge on evidence available.

Horse silk
100/1
Tongue tied, and showed much improved form when 9L fifth of 12 to Damage Control in a 1¼m maiden at Chepstow last time. No appeal here, but could make his mark in lesser handicaps after this run.

250/1
Dam stayed 1m, but had more than her share of temperament, and this filly is yet to show much ability in a couple of starts. Makes minimal appeal at this level.

Deft22
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-11| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett
18/1
From the family of connections' Oaks winner Talent. Well held on Kempton debut, but showed more when fourth of 9 to Nova Roma at Windsor last time. Not ideally placed as things went there, but still hard to see her reversing form with the winner.

Gordana24
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: M R Channon
80/1
Much better effort to date when 7L fifth of 6 to Asiaaf in a 1¼m Goodwood novice last time, although that was a muddling affair, and she needs to show she's not flattered by her proximity.
10
(10)
Horse silk
17/2
Full-sister to Lancashire Oaks and Prix Vermeille winner Endless Time and useful 1m winner The Sky Is Blazing. Represents powerful connections, and appeals on pedigree, so one to take very seriously on her debut.

Forecasts

Nova Roma (4/9), Balzac (4/1), Mersin (7/1), Sea Of Style (17/2), Deft (18/1), Catbird Seat (22/1), Gordana (80/1), Wishing Gate (100/1), Sirbowtieman (250/1), Barboukha (250/1)

Verdict

Christopher Tsui and William Haggas have enjoyed great success with the former's homebreds in recent times, and SEA OF STYLE could be another classy runner for them, being a full-sister to Prix Vermeille winner Endless Time. She'll need to be good to score on debut, though, with Nova Roma setting a solid enough form standard, and Mersin unlucky to run into a pair of Group performers at Haydock last time.
  1. Sea Of Style
  2. Nova Roma
  3. Mersin
