Always Emirates gets the call ahead of Cabriole, Loyal Royal and You Call That Art. Always Emirates' second to Mulaqat at Yarmouth last time stands out as form here and he is the one to beat in his first-time tongue tie. A 56,000 guineas son of Dansili, Art Man is interesting, as is Loyal Royal, who showed up well for a long way over further at Newmarket last time. Rogue's promise came on Southwell's all-weather, Dream Forest has shown fair form thus far and could go well, but Marcus Tregoning's Greek Renaissance will need to show more than he did on his debut in order to feature. Cabriole, another whose sire is Dansili, also attracts interest on her debut, while Highland Belle catches the eye on breeding but that first-time visor on her debut is slightly curious. Finally, You Call That Art has more than enough juvenile form to be considered from the local Richard Hannon yard. Overall, though, the vote stays with Always Emirates.
