Akhlaaq is a half-brother to a Listed winner over this trip and possibly the most interesting of the newcomers ahead of Belle Diva, a half-sister to the speedy Riflescope. But BECK AND CALL (NAP) probably wouldn't need to improve much on a promising first run at Newbury, where Henry Candy's filly travelled strongly until lack of experience told inside the final furlong. Sfumato improved on his debut when fifth at Newbury but, like Inner Circle, will be qualified for a nursery after this.
