Sierra Belle (4/9), Pride Of Toledo (9/4), Debutante (18/1), Hemustbeanangel (50/1)

SIERRA BELLE is bred to be smart and shaped with plenty of encouragement when a strong-finishing second at Newmarket 2 weeks ago. She's clearly the one to beat, though Pride of Toledo showed up well for a long way at Newbury, while Debutante is from the family of connections' July Cup winner Starman.
