Having sidestepped the Woodcote on account of the ground, TOO DARN GOOD looks particularly interesting at this lesser level with progress on the cards. Supreme Diamond, Dubai Time and Kesta are the biggest dangers on form, preferred in that order. Factual, for the Balding yard, looks the pick of the newcomers.[Steve Boow]

No certainty to defy top weight, having failed to progress from Brighton success in two subsequent outings (5f); however, looks ready for a crack at this new trip and could go well.
Ardad half-brother to four winners, notably Ice Max (7f/1m including 2yo/Group 2; RPR 114); dam 7f/1m scorer (62); yard's first 2yo runner of the season; market informative.
30,000euros foal, £33,000 yearling, 48,000gns (breeze-up) 2yo; by Sioux Nation out of a 7f-8.4f winner (including 2yo; RPR 101); major stable; interesting debutant.
Down the field in races over 5f and 7f, beaten about 6l both times; plenty to find on bare figures and looks likely to be more interesting when nurseries commence.
Showed clear promise in small field at Bath (5f, firm) while shaping as if this extra furlong will suit; withdrawn from the Woodcote at Epsom on Friday due to unsuitable ground (good to soft); respected with progress on the cards.
Last of seven in Ascot contest (5f) having been friendless in the betting; doesn't look an imminent winner and is best watched unless the market signals go the other way.
Brings the worst form, having trailed home last of 13 at Windsor (6f) only eight days ago; seemingly thought capable of better, having attracted support.
Shaped with a bit of promise in Windsor event (6f) but recorded a meagre RPR and needs to take a major step forward; yard is only 1-23 with 2yo runners.
Newcomer by Starman and first foal of a maiden (RPR 78) from family of Arc winner Peintre Celebre; yard has a decidedly low strike-rate with 2yos; best watched.
Seemed to need debut run, then fared better at Goodwood (6f, good) where she was beaten just over 2l in small field; leading player on the figures and would be an apt winner, with her trainer sponsoring this race.
Out of a 6f 2yo winner; showed promise in a Chester contest (5.5f) that is working out well and can be forgiven a lesser effort at Redcar (5f) having raced on the unfavoured side; remains open to improvement and is one for the shortlist.
Cable Bay half-sister to Group-placed 1m AW 2yo winner Perfect Prophet (RPR 95); dam maiden (69), out of half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 2 scorer James Garfield; check the betting.
