    Verdict

    It's difficult to get a handle on Dolce N Karama, who has started at enormous prices in the Racing Post Trophy and Irish 2000 Guineas and also run twice at Meydan. He'll obviously find this rather less daunting and his 7l defeat by Kingston Hill at Doncaster doesn't look a bad effort. However, PONFEIGH has strong form credentials having made a very encouraging debut at the Curragh in October behind his stablemate Ebanoran and Table Rock, who have both boosted the form this season, and the son of Teofilo gets the vote. Centre Of Interest doesn't appear to have made progress but Que Sera Sera will have come on for the experience gained at Limerick in April. Dermot Weld's Comtesse, a half-sister to two winners, could prove best of the newcomers though the selection's stablemate Royal Memory cost 150,000gns and is one to keep an eye on.
