An interesting opener, with Richard Fahey's Chalice Beauty the pick of the newcomers, and Desert Jungle likely to draw considerable benefit from her debut. However, the form pick is DUSKAURA, who drew nicely clear with the winner at Yarmouth, and should once more have the measure of Yellow Diamonds. [Mark Rowntree]

155,000gns breeze-up pick; sixth foal from a sister to the 7f-1m winner Jumeirah Palm Star; half-sister to four winners, the most notable Red Letter Bray (6f; RPR 99); trainer saddled his first juvenile winner of the year (Cotai Belle) at Wetherby last week; noteworthy newcomer.
90,000euros yearling; displayed natural speed before weakening on Thirsk debut (5f, good to firm; fifth, 17-2, form boosted since); a newly applied hood could curb some of her eagerness, but this sharp track will still suit her run style; possibilities.
£100,000 yearling; shaped as if in need of the experience when fourth on Wolverhampton debut (5f AW, 12-1, beaten almost 6l) a fortnight ago; as a sister to the multiple 5f winner Democracy Dilemma (including 2yo/Listed; RPR 113), there's surely better to come.
£62,000 2yo breeze-ups; gave a good account, drawing clear with the winner, on Yarmouth debut (5f, good to firm; 12-1) just under three weeks ago; if able to replicate that on this easier ground, this half-sister to three winners should again have the measure of Yellow Diamonds, and is the one to beat.
Well beaten on both starts, latterly always behind over 6f at Redcar (125-1); will soon be eligible for a mark, and low-level nurseries are where her future lies; focus elsewhere.
Inexpensive filly (1,500gns yearling); slowly away on both starts at Beverley (5f) and looks firmly up against it tackling this calibre of opposition; probable outsider.
45,000gns yearling; Dark Angel newcomer; first foal from a 5f-1m winner (including 2yo/US stakes) who was a half-sister to two winners (7f-8.5f); her trainer Tim Easterby is 6-37 (16%) with his 2yos this year; bolted before start and withdrawn at Wetherby on June 2 (28-1 at the time).
170,000gns breeze-up pick; hung left under pressure when two places, and over 5l, behind today's rival Duskaura at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm, 6-1) 19 days ago; probably capable of better, but it's still tough to see how she can turn that form around in such a short time frame.
