Good third on debut at Haydock (7f, good) in maiden company prior to finishing seventh in a Listed affair at Royal Ascot. Strong claims dropping in grade.
Unraced Hard Spun colt and a half-brother to winner Treaty Of Vienna. Represents a stable with a 25% strike-rate (6/24) in recent weeks and is one for the shortlist on debut.
Unraced Dark Angel colt bought for €145,000 at the sales as a yearling last October. Half-brother to winner Esprit Rose and is worth a check in the market on debut.
Unraced Thunderstone colt cost connections €210,000 at the sales as a yearling. One to note for a stable who can boast a 44% strike-rate (8/18) in the last 14 days.
Unraced Proconsul filly and a half-sister to a winner in Italy. Represents a useful stable and market suppor twould be notable on her first visit to the track.
Showed up well when finishing runner-up in a 7f novice race at Salisbury (good-to-firm) last month. Shaped as if she'd improve for the experience and she looks likely to play a leading role in this contest.

SOFT WHISPER performed well when runner-up on debut at Salisbury and she can go one better by taking the opening race on the card. The selection can get the better of Clarendon Cross who is dropping in class having contested the Listed Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot on his most recent outing. Third place can go to Cloudbridge who has a top jockey booked to ride for his racecourse debut.
