Brise Noir (second choice) holds a leading chance provided his promise on French soil is confirmed. JOYFUL SOUND is particularly interesting upped to a trip more in keeping with her pedigree, while Fantasy World and Quebella are also in the mix. Market support for nicely bred newcomer Burj Zabeel should be heeded.[Steve Boow]

Got up close home in Wolverhampton novice event (8.5f, AW) for a promising debut; likely to be well suited by this longer trip and is open to progress; respected even though she's conceding weight all round.
60,000gns yearling; Kingman half-brother to 1m2f winner Boogie Woogie (including Listed; RPR 107), out of Irish/Yorkshire Oaks winner; sole newcomer in the field; heed the market signals.
Gelded after sole 2yo run; took a step forward with third-place finish in Windsor maiden (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago, while shaping as if this longer distance is worth exploring; possibilities.
Both 2yo starts on French soil, posting a solid effort at Deauville (third to subsequent dual Group 3 scorer) then not disgraced on bare figures in conditions race on Arc weekend; gelded since; leading form contender upped further in trip.
Both outings over 1m, still green when keeping-on fifth at Haydock latest, beaten only 2l; has a useful middle-distance pedigree and looks interesting upped to 1m2f, with improvement on the cards.
