        Verdict

        It is hard to be dogmatic in naming the winner with so many unexposed types but we will short list Ideally, Proponent and Polish Star and select Proponent. Atraas hails from a good family, so local support would be interesting. Christalini showed some promise here on her debut, as did Ideally on her all-weather bow. Diamond Tycoon, Opera Crown, Polish Star, Proponent, who cost 160,000 guineas, Rock 'N' Roller, who cost 62,000 euros, Rangali Belle, who cost 24,000 guineas and the 60,000 guineas purchase Shine Like A Star are interesting newcomers that have to be considered. As ever, watch the betting but, without that, the selection is Proponent.
