Arizona Blaze
High-class sprinting 2yo of last year, winning the Group 3 Marble Hill Stakes at the Curragh and twice placed in Group 1 company, notably at the Breeders' Cup on final start; is well clear of these rivals and his yard has been in fine form so is difficult to oppose.

Dark Ace
Much-improved since switching to AW, winning a C&D maiden and a conditions race last autumn; has plenty to find with Arizona Blaze but should be in the mix if that rival fails to run his race.

Sir Yoshi
Won a 5f Tipperary maiden last year and ran well several times in Listed company after, though was below form at this track on final start; doesn't have much to find with Arizona Blaze on these terms but needs his best form.

Beauty Queen
Won a Beverley maiden last summer and put two poor runs behind her when winning a Southwell novice on final start for Kevin Ryan; she has a tough task against Arizona Blaze but should be in the shake-up behind him.

Li Ban
Seems to be the yard's second-string; kept busy last year for former yard, winning once and running respectably in Group 3 company; not a bad handicap run for this yard last time but needs her stablemate to run well below form to have a winning chance.

Did well to make a winning debut over C&D, beating plenty of rivals with experience; she has a tough task against Arizona Blaze but should be in the shake-up behind him.

Sixth foal; half-sister to 1m2f AW 2yo winner Eagles Dare (RPR 68); dam unraced half-sister to Listed winners Malakeh (German 1m) and Smokey Storm (6f 2yo); will need to be above average to take this on debut so is likely best watched.
