Each of the newcomers has something to recommend them on paper with Rogue Millions (second choice) arguably the pick. Man Of Desert can leave his debut behind him at some stage but this looks a golden opportunity for NEBRAS to make a winning return. The Gosden's colt beat good horses on his Newmarket debut and while he couldn't cope with Group 1 company just three weeks later, he remains an exciting prospect.[Paul Smith]

Half-brother to Derby winner Desert Crown; attracted some support (9-2 joint second favourite) on his Ffos Las debut last July (1m, good to soft) and shaped quite nicely with a view to the future; open to improvement but he'll need Nebras to underperform.
Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in a 1m maiden at Newmarket last October; pitched into the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster three weeks later and came up short but he's clearly highly regarded and he's still entered in the 2000 Guineas and Derby; AW unlikely to hold any terrors and it will take a smart newcomer to lower his colours.
80,000gns yearling; by Dark Angel; fifth foal; dam 6f winner (RPR 73), sister to 1m Group 2 winner Penitent and 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Supplicant; up against a smart opponent on debut.
130,000gns yearling; second foal; dam a 6f 2yo/1m Group 2 winner (RPR 110), herself from a good family; entered in the Derby; interesting prospect for the season and market confidence would look significant given he has a high standard to aim at.
Two runs last autumn (6f, soft and 1m, Tapeta) weren't without hope but he'll need to be a different proposition after a gelding operation if he is to take this.
Sixth foal; half-brother to winners Excel Power (6f-1m including AW; RPR 108), Caspian Queen (Group-placed 5f-7f including 2yo/AW; 96), Barging Thru (5f-7f AW; 91) and Our Melody (5f AW; 64); dam unplaced 6f/7f (44); likely type on paper but this isn't an easy starting point.
