| 1st | 1 | 11 |
Collateral Damage (C)
270,000 gns Too Darn Hot colt. Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut with a bit in hand at Catterick (7f). Sure to build on that given his price tag/connections, and he has to be high on the shortlist.

Gymbaazy (C)
Well-bred son of Siyouni. Overcame greenness to make successful debut over C&D (Encounter unlucky not to finish closer in third). Looks sure to improve on that effort, and he's expected to be in the shake-up under a penalty.

My A'ali Baba (G)
Successful in strongly-run 6f event at Chepstow on debut. Backed that up when fifth of 6 at Goodwood latest. Longer trip should suit on first start since being gelded, though he's again likely to vulnerable under a penalty.

Beach Noir (G)
Foaled February 21. €100,000 yearling, 25,000 gns 2-y-o, Blackbeard gelding. Half-brother to useful 10.4f-1½m winner Winema. Dam unraced out of useful 10.5f winner Nobilis. Already been gelded and likely to need time.

Cilician (G)
Promising second behind experienced rival on debut at Nottingham. Advanced his form when eleventh of 21 in the Coventry at Royal Ascot subsequently. Bred to get 7f on dam's side, and a similar performance should be enough to take this.

Encounter (C)
FAV
Well-backed second on debut at Lingfield. Improved despite trouble in running when 1½-lengths third behind Gymbaazy over C&D since. Unlikely we've seen the best of him, and it's notable that Ryan Moore returns.

Or Ever (C)
Foaled March 23. Mehmas colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Kindergarten (successful on debut). Positive jockey booking. Market usually a good guide with stable's newcomers.

State Of War (C)
Made an unpromising start to his career when trailing the field at Newbury (6f), and he again looks the stable second string.

Storm Blade (C)
Hails from family connections know well. Fair fourth on debut at Lingfield (6f, good to firm). James Doyle takes over, and he's expected to improve stepping up in trip.
