July Meeting maidens invariably throw up talented performers and the market frequently produces the best guide to newcomers from leading yards. Such may prove the case here with a number of first-timers making appeal on paper, notably Al Baahy and Ehraz, but it's probably best to go along with more experienced types, Noble Truth and Altraif came home third and fourth in the useful maiden won by Lusail here last month and little may separate them now. Stormy Ocean is also expected to come forward from his debut but we'll stay with Royal Ascot form and take SWEEPING to advertise the value of what appeared a classy Chesham Stakes.
