It's hard to rule many of these out and SEA TO SKY can only be a tentative selection, but she shaped nicely at Sandown last month and the form received a boost when the winner was third in Doncaster's Group 2 May Hill Stakes. Fool Again and Suhub are others who should improve on encouraging debuts, while the newcomers Pearl Of Hope (second choice) and Cast Party make plenty of appeal on paper.[Richard O'Brien]

150,000euros foal; by Sea The Stars; dam 1m winner (RPR 88), half-sister to Group 1-placed 1m2f/1m3f winner Almodovar, out of 1m winning close relative of 6f Group 1 winner Tante Rose; bred to be useful and represents top stable that has won this race twice in recent seasons; interesting newcomer.
Changed hands for six figures at the breeze-ups and made a pleasing debut when close second of six at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm; 3-1) three weeks ago; was doing her best work late on and should be suited by this extra yardage; leading contender.
Sea The Moon half-sister to seven winners including 2017 Gold Cup hero Big Orange (RPR 119); dam 1m AW winner (79); worth a check in the market, with her stable having a productive season (16% strike-rate) with its 2yos.
Was the sole newcomer in the field when 6l second of six at Epsom (7f, soft; 8-1) nine days ago, rallying after losing place at halfway; has plenty of stamina in her pedigree and should relish this longer trip; respected.
Dubawi half-sister to five winners including Victor Ludorum (1m including 2yo/Group 1; RPR 117), Mary Tudor (1m2f Listed; 111) and Ancient History (6f-1m2f; 105); dam Listed-placed 1m2f/10.5f winner (106); has a fine pedigree and represents last year's winning connections; could be the pick of the newcomers.
Ran green/edged right under pressure when a promising 4l second of six at Sandown (7f, good; 11-2) three weeks ago, and the winner gave the form a boost when third in last week's May Hill; bred to be suited by this step up in distance; major player for the 2022 winning stable.
Beautifully bred (by Mohaather out of Falmouth and Sun Chariot winner Nazeef, herself a half-sister to the dual Group 1 winner Mostahdaf), and she showed something to build on when 10l fourth of 11 at Newbury (7f, soft; 10-1) two weeks ago, fading; likely to improve and not discounted by any means.
