Verdict

Barry Hills' Yafoul, a half-sister to Group 3 winner Ramooz, showed enough on her debut to suggest she should win her maiden. She has been done no favours by the draw, but with the benefit of the experience she gained at Kempton, she is taken to score. My Daisychain from the same family as 1000 guineas winner Al Bahathri is worth keeping an eye on in the market, as is Grand Passion, who comes from the same family as the high-class Persian Heights. The one concern about the latter is that he has been gelded already.
