There are three debut winners in the field and the other two with experience also shaped with distinct promise, so with a wave of interesting newcomers as well this is probably a good race. Dickensian could be the pick of those with runs under their belts but WISE APPROACH is a half-brother to top two-year-old Perfect Power and this son of Mehmas cost a lot of money. Goldwork, Credit Forgedd It and Espona Bay are other interesting debutants.[Alistair Jones]

Defied market weakness to make a winning start at Musselburgh (5f, good; 10-1) where he made all to readily beat a well-touted newcomer who has since gone one better; looks useful.
45,000gns yearling by the stable's shock Coventry winner Nando Parrado; always prominent before edging out a Hannon-trained favourite at Newbury (5f, good; 17-2) where Chale Chalo and Siren Suit finished behind; trainer already harbouring Royal Ascot ambitions; respected.
Made hard work of justifing short-priced favouritism at Leicester (5f, good to firm) and the opposition wasn't strong, despite the runner-up winning since (now 1-4); however, evidently held in some regard by his top yard and should improve.
Harry Angel colt out of a 7f-8.6f AW winner (RPR 78); trainer has a very respectable strike-rate with 2yos on turf and needs checking in the betting with Rossa Ryan booked.
14-1, he ran well to be a close fifth at Newbury in a maiden won by Inca Heights; got outpaced before running on and the dam won her Listed race at 6f.
£150,000 yearling; third foal out of a 5f 2yo winner and half-sister to winners Supremacy (6f 2yo Group 1) and Leuven Power (useful 7f/1m); bred to be precocious and the yard's 2yos are already up and running.
22,000euros yearling; first foal; dam twice-raced maiden (RPR 78), out of US 9.5f Grade 3 winning sister to Australian 1m4f Group 2 winner Yucatan; betting instructive.
1,000euros yearling; seventh foal; half-brother to three winners including Danehill Quest (1m; RPR 63) and Kundalini (Italian 1m-9.5f including 2yo); dam placed 10.5f-12.5f in France; stable has had only one 2yo triumph last five seasons; best watched.
75,000gns yearling; first foal out of a 5f 2yo winner (RPR 89) and half-sister to 7f winners Bendy Spirit and The Toff; the booking of Oisin Murphy heightens interest (21-96 for the yard).
65,000gns yearling; second foal; dam French 7f winner (RPR 82), half-sister to winners Broderie (German 1m Listed) and Great Esteem (useful 1m4f); stable's 2yos off the mark and won this in 2021 with subsequent Royal Ascot winner Chipotle.
Churchill colt out of a 1,000 Guineas fourth; may need further but he was running on behind Inca Heights at Newbury (went off 17-2) after a sluggish start; improvement would appear a formality.
38,000gns foal, £65,000 yearling; second foal; dam placed 1m/1m2f (RPR 75), sister to Australian 1m5f Group 3 winner Soulcombe; makes sense to check the betting.
Mehmas colt who cost 1,000,000gns as a yearling; fourth foal; half-brother to top-class 5f-7f winner Perfect Power; dam 8.6f AW/1m2f turf winner (100); bred to be smart and stable wins 2yos races at this track for fun.
