Those that have run have so far shown very little to think that they can take a hand here against some potentially smart newcomers looking at their pedigrees. Trainer Karl Burke already has a Royal Ascot winner under his belt this year with a 2yo landing the Albany Stakes last week and his BRIGHT APPARITION is the suggestion here to make a winning debut. Method a first 2yo runner of the season for Martyn Meade is of interest especially with Ryan Moore booked. Calanais would be another newcomer to note although the Archie Watson stable have suffered a few reverses with well-fancied juveniles this year. The Fahey duo Fev Rover and Blades Equal have the potential to get involved.
