In depth
Verdict
Most of these are seeing a racecourse for the first time so the market should be a good guide. Dark Tulip probably has the best form of those with experience having chased home Canonized, who won a Class 2 at Windsor on Saturday, last month. But his stable do also run Goldilocks and debutante Helene. HERSILIA gets a tentative vote as the yard has introduced a couple of nice two-year-olds recently and she is a half-sister to a couple of winning sprinters. Daiquiri Francais also appeals on pedigree.
