Crown Office and Passing Hour hold the best form of those to have raced, however newcomers Atayeb, Pulsate and Safwa are of definite interest with the vote going to the last-named. Sir Michael Stoute's horses are running so well at the moment that all of his runners merit very close consideration. His daughter of Green Desert takes the eye here and if the market speaks in her favour, she could easily make a winning debut. She is starting off at a suitable trip and looks worth siding with. Pulsate gets a positive mention given the form of her stable and given that her sister won three times at this trip as a three-year-old, she looks a likely type. Atayeb represents Hamdam Al Maktoum (as does the selection) but jockey bookings suggests that she may be seen to better effect in time. Passing Hour represents a trainer in good form and should appreciate the step up to this trip and may well be happier on this track than the tight turns of Chester. Royal Secrets should come on for her debut, whilst Crown Office drops in trip however this is not sure to suit as she looked one-paced last time out. A tough finale, and the market will help guide, however Safwa can make a winning debut.
