Foaled 11 Apr. Dam a lightly raced maiden.
Celebrity was slowly away and ran very green on her debut but she picked up well and can reverse the form with Ponte Di Rosa if getting a better start, but Eshoog looks the best of those with form having stayed on well for third over C&D last time. However, it may pay to side with William Haggas's newcomer, ELECTRA STAR. The Shamardal filly is related to a plethora of winners and a Lowther Stakes entry suggests she's held in high regard at home.
Eshoog sets the standard but a host of newcomers could well have enough ability to score first time up, Chewdeh preferred to Sadafiya and Queen O'The Desert.

Foaled 16 Apr. Half-sister to Mohtashem, won at 1m. Beaten 7l behind Sextons House at 20-1 when seventh of 11 on her racecourse debut at Goodwood over 7f (good) last month.
Brian Meehan has a strong hand in this contest and has Kieren Fallon on board WAITER'S DREAM, who looked a winner in waiting when second at Salisbury last time. Meehan's other runner of interest is Aciano, who holds a Group 1 entry over this trip so will have to be good to live up to that, while Derby entry Anton Dolin is one to keep an eye on, along with the well-bred Sir Michael Stoute duo of Luckyreno and Profondo Rosso.
Sir Michael Stoute's Profondo Rosso and Richard Hannon's Moriarty catch the eye amongst the newcomers, but recent Salisbury second Waiter's Dream sets a decent standard and gets the nod. Tick Tock Lover has also shown enough to suggest he can get involved.
Foaled 9 Feb. A winner at 6f on good to soft ground. Beaten 4 1/2l behind Approve at 4-1 when 9th of 12 on his latest outing in the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes at Ascot over 5f (good to firm) last month.

BAHCELI needed every yard of the 5f trip at York to get his nose in front, but he did it in the end and this longer trip is likely to bring out the best in him. He is preferred ahead of Al Aasifh, who failed to land a blow in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot but was hugely impressive when winning at Haydock prior to that. Cape To Rio has done little wrong in three starts and has to be respected for master juvenile trainer Richard Hannon, while Sir Reginald has claims if building on his York success.
Richard Hannon has bagged 4 of the last 6 renewals of this contest and runs both Bahceli and Cape To Rio. The latter looks the pick of the pair, but preference is for Godolphin's Al Aasifh, whose Royal Ascot defeat last month may have been down to the race coming too soon after an impressive Haydock win. Sir Reginald could also take a hand judged on his debut form.
A winner at 1m 2f on good to firm ground. Finished 2 3/4l behind Sea Of Heartbreak when fifth of 9 at 4-1 on her latest outing over this course and distance (good to firm) last month.

Unplaced in all five starts. Well beaten at 80-1 behind Contredanse when last of 14 on her latest outing at Windsor over 1m (good) in April. Runs from 1lb out of handicap.
CENTIME has looked a different proposition since tackling handicaps over this trip but could never recover from a sluggish start last time. Off the same mark on this galloping track, she could be hard to stop. Mazamorra won well at Goodwood last time but this is tougher and she will have to step up on that here, so Ice Diva could be a bigger danger based on her Nottingham win, though the form has been let down slightly since.
Difficult to put a line through more than a couple of these, but Madhaaq should relish the extra 2f on her handicap debut and rates the most likely winner ahead of Ice Diva and Mazamorra.

Pragmatist stayed on well for second at Salisbury, but that came over 6f and she may need that extra furlong to be at her best, so preference is for the speedy VOLITO. Jonjo O'Neill's sprinter was a solid third over C&D two starts ago before being grabbed on the line at Bath last time and though 2lb higher, he can land a deserved success today. Peopleton Brook (engaged to run at Leicester yesterday) was one place behind the selection here and ran well over 7f last time so is respected.
Jonjo O'Neill isn't associated with sprinters, but his Volito has returned in good heart this summer and can get his head in front this time. Peopleton Brook will be a danger if taking part (also engaged Leicester Thursday), while Pragmatist is also in decent nick.
He has won four times from 7f to 1m 5f on good to firm and good ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 5-1 at Hamilton over 1m 5f (good) on his latest flat outing in September last year, beating Merchant Of Dubai by a neck.

Jonjo O'Neill's Newbury successes usually come in the winter, but he has two chances in this with Braveheart Move the more likely than stablemate Donaldson. However, they will both have to be at the very top of their game to stop EMERGING ARTIST going one better than at York last time, with this 2f shorter trip likely to suit. Major Phil steps up in trip after a fair second at Carlisle and has claims, while Windsor winner Con Artist looks best of the younger generation.
Emerging Artist and Con Artist are the unexposed pair in the field. Preference is for the former, who had some solid handicappers beaten off when second to a big improver at York a week ago. Grey Bunting is still on the up too, while Major Phil would be a danger if staying the longer trip.

Admirable Duque looked to be hitting top form when second at Windsor two starts ago but was beaten out of sight at Nottingham last time. Ebiayn and Sgt Schultz both failed to back up victories when well beaten last time out so it may pay to side with LAISH YA HAJAR. Paul Webber's gelding showed little on his return from a year on the sidelines at Newmarket last time, but he is entitled to benefit from that outing and has claims on his best form.
Hard to make a strong case for any of these, but Straight Laced ran as well as she ever has in a light career last time and gets a tentative vote despite being 2 lb out of the handicap. Sgt Schultz was too free at Ascot on Saturday but had proved himself over C&D when successful the time before.
