Yasmina and Adwan may do best of those with experience as they step up in trip but a newcomer won’t need to be anything special to land this and a couple stand out. Slipofthepen is a half-brother to a decent handicapper but STAR AHOY is a brother to a Group 2 winner and a half-brother to Falmouth Stakes winner Veracious and the Haggas filly gets the nod. Monoglow, Roman Art and Ray Of Colours are others to note.
