The betting may offer some clues to the chances of these unexposed three-year-olds. Model Guest, Aim Power and Muchly set the standard off their current marks though the latter finished behind Modern Millie in the Fred Darling at Newbury last month. Hidden Message has something to prove over today’s trip having won over 6f last year but Baba Ghanouj won over the extended mile at Wolverhampton in November and Fashion's Star, Quick and QUEEN POWER made winning debuts over 7f. The latter has switched to Sir Michael Stoute’s yard since beating a couple of subsequent winners at Newmarket and an entry in the Oaks suggesting today’s step up in distance will suit.
