Dam is a half-sister to six winners including Listed Pipalong Stakes (1m) winner Law of The Range. Made a promising start when fourth of 10 to Sunray Major in a 1m novice at Newmarket, and looks sure to progress up in trip.
Gelded Sea The Stars half-brother to 1m1f winners Dubawi Flame and Majestic Thunder out of a half-sister to multiple 1m-1¼m Group winner Echo of Light. Bred to be useful, and should know his job on debut, so requires a check in the market.
3,500,000 gns full-brother to Dewhurst/Sussex Stakes winner Too Darn Hot, St Leger runner-up Lah Ti Dar and Musidora Stakes winner So Mi Dar. From a stellar family, and afforded maximum respect on belated racecourse bow.
Closely related to 7f winner Pategonia and half-brother to smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Zebedee and 2-y-o 7f winner Auntinet. From a speedy family, so slight concern that he's starting off at this trip. Folly to ignore, however.
Hooded and improved on a poor debut effort when 20½L fifth of 7 to Highest Ground at Haydock last time. That effort better than it appears, but he will be of more interest when handicapping after this.
Needed experience on debut, so a little disappointing that he could only run to a similar level when fourth of 11 to Almighwar at Kempton last time. May yet do better, but best watched here.
Intello colt who cost €290,000 as a yearling. Slowly away and never on terms on Newmarket debut a month ago, but top rider keeps the mount, and evidently thought capable of better.
Well-bred filly who shaped with promise amidst greenness when 2¼L third of 10 to King Carney in an extended 1m maiden at Nottingham in the autumn. Sure to progress, and needs a second look with this longer trip looking ideal.

Darain (2/1), Annie De Vega (2/1), Brilliant Light (9/2), Alpin King (9/1), Divine Consent (14/1), Winter Reprise (20/1), Tamaris (20/1), Samaritaine (20/1), Forked Lightning (100/1), Magnificat (150/1)
Annie de Vega sets the standard on her debut third in a warm maiden at Nottingham., but she's without a run this season, and running into a newcomer with a superb pedigree in the shape of DARAIN, a brother to Too Darn Hot and Lah To Dar among others. That colt is in excellent hands and is taken to follow in family tradition by winning at the first time of asking. Alpin King ran a race full of promise when fourth at Newmarket on his debut, and completes the shortlist.
