Some powerful stables are represented in this. The newcomer Epic Storm is owned by Coolmore connections and is a half-brother to a 1m5f winner, while Godolphin's debutant Manarola is related to Group 2 winner Monterosso and both should be noted for the future. All My Heart doesn't look anything special on what she's shown so far though better is expected from Oasis Memory and Tarkeeba stepping up in trip, with the latter preferred. However, Sir Henry Cecil won the only previous running of this race last year and after a gentle introduction over 1m2f at Sandown, ASTERISM could prove a different proposition over this longer distance and she gets the vote. El Mansour looks best of the rest ahead of Listed bumper winner Keys.
