Class dropper Rodeo Drive can come out tops

(9) STONE OF SCONE improved to finish second over track and trip last time, so she rates the one to beat.

- 

However, a bigger threat could come from well-bred newcomers (8) SISTERSHIP, (10) SURPRISE PARTY and (3) CHANTILLY DREAM.

(8) DETAILED FORECAST was featured prominently before tiring late on debut. She would have benefited from that experience, so could repay her followers. A handy 2.5kg sex allowance will aid her cause.

(7) THE LAST DUKE fits a similar profile and should acquit himself more competitively in maiden company.

Watch the betting on the newcomers, especially (3) GAVIUS MAXIMUS and stablemate (4) JABARI THIMBA.

This would not take much winning so, if there is no market support for either of the newcomers, then (10) FIERY ROSE can be confidently backed to open her account. She outran market expectations when finishing second over track and trip on debut before another runner-up finish last time.

Newcomer (9) TITAN OF THE TURF, debutant (7) LANNYBOY and the unexposed (5) SILVER LONGSWORD could give the selection most to fear.

(13) WISE COUNSEL showed signs of inexperience on debut, but she did catch the eye once the penny had dropped, staying on to finish a creditable fifth over 1,000m.
