        Verdict

        Perks and St Jean Cap Ferrat probably have the best form of those to have raced but this is likely to go to one of the newcomers and what can only be a tentative vote goes to Aromatherapy. The selection is bred to be useful being a half-sister to Venerable, out of a sister to Dewhurst winner Distant Music, and it would come as no surprise to see Henry Cecil's filly make a winning debut. John Gosden's Virtual is well bred but may prefer a softer surface, while Peter Chapple-Hyam's Jaser similarly is bred to appreciate more cut in the ground. Mark Johnston's Tajweed is bred to be useful but the stable's two-year-olds normally improve with racing. A market move for Deo Valente would be of interest but preference is for the choicely-bred Aromatherapy.
