Verdict
Wye Valley looks best of those with experience having shown up nicely at Lingfield but this is likely to go to a newcomer. Frankie Dettori's booking for Sweet Ophelia, a half-sister to five winners, is eye-catching and Richard Hannon's Blonde, another with multiple winning relatives, is another worth watching. Sir Michael Stoute's DREAMS OF FIRE gets the vote as he's closely related to Derby winner Kris Kin, who won over this trip as a juvenile, and Scarlet Belle is another to note as she's related to Grade winners in Germany and the USA.
