In depth
Verdict
Only four of these two-year-olds have raced before, and as they have not shown that much ability to date, it may pay to side with one of the newcomers here; Richard Hannon's Dowager fits the bill best. The Hannon team has, as ever, turned out a vast number of juvenile winners already this season, and this Groom Dancer filly could easily be capable of adding to their tally, with Richard Hughes in the plate. Roger Charlton's Sketch and Amanda Perrett's Ciacole are other debutants to consider, especially if there is market support for them, while the pick of those with experience could be David Elsworth's Wall Street Runner, who was a little backward on her debut at Windsor and seems sure to progress from that.
