This is open and only a tentative vote can be afforded to NAANA'S SHADOW, who followed up her Catterick win with a creditable third in a similar event to this at York three weeks ago. She had the measure of Shes Got A Brother (fourth) that day and is now 1lb worse off, but Oisin Murphy gets aboard for the first time and that might be a tip in itself. Wedonttelllies recorded a cosy success at Goodwood recently and must be respected, while Riley Rocks and Coyy are others to watch out for.
There wasn't much between NAANA'S SHADOW, Shes Got A Brother and Hanney Girl at York recently and the trio could dominate this. The former fared best that day and her run is probably worth marking up as she went off very quickly so she is expected to confirm the form. The latter backed up that run with a solid effort at Haydock having been taken on up front and she has slipped to an attractive mark so is feared most. Of the others Wedonttelllies looks a huge danger after an easy victory at a similar track last time for which he has only gone up 6lb.
Quickened, very promising debut justifying strong support 3l winner in a novice at Lingfield on debut; effective 6f, acts on AW; form of debut win had knocks but should have more to offer.
Foaled 27 Mar. Half-brother to Vorfreude, won at 1m 5f. Won on his latest outing when 5-6fav at Lingfield over 6f in April, beating Greek Street by 3l.

DANDYMAN DAN proved that his 40/1 debut win was no fluke when running with plenty of credit in the National Stakes at Sandown and he might still be worth keeping onside. Possessive is likely to prove popular following last month's York triumph, as is Alpe d'Huez, who created quite the impression when winning cosily on his racecourse bow at Lingfield. Ardad Steve could also run well and Rlasthope is another to keep in mind.
The form of DANDYMAN DAN's debut win has worked out well and he backed that up with a solid effort at Listed level last time where he flew home over 5f. That sets the standard on form and with further improvement expected over this longer distance he is selected to defeat Possessive. That rival's debut victory looks strong form and his trainer has an excellent record with 2yos. Of those at bigger prices Romidijo makes some minor appeal. She is still a maiden but she left her debut form behind when placing last time despite looking green so could take another step forwards here.
Ground it out looking like stiffer test would have suited better when winning Festival Stakes (Listed) at Goodwood by a short-head last time; stays 10f well, likes a sound surface; stable first string on jockey bookings; big chance.
He has won four times from 7f to 1m 2f on good to firm and good ground. A winner at 11-2 at Goodwood over 1m 2f (good) on his latest outing last month, beating Naqeeb by a short head.

PERSICA made it two wins from two starts at this venue when triumphant in this race 12 months ago. Richard Hannon's gelding was not disgraced on his return in the Earl Of Sefton in April, but it would be no surprise to see him find some improvement here. Boiling Point claimed Listed honours at Goodwood last month and might represent the biggest danger, but last year's shock Sussex Stakes winner Qirat should not be underestimated.
PERSICA can repeat last year's success. He is winless since but he shaped as if returning to form when midfield in the Earl Of Sefton on his return and he's entitled to come on for that outing with the easier ground here no issue. He can reverse that form with Boiling Point who had a fitness edge and backed up the run with victory in the Festival Stakes next time. He is the pick of the Karl Burke pair and can chase the selection home ahead of the sole Group 1 winner in the line up Qirat. That rival is flattered by his Sussex Stakes victory but will be a danger if allowed to dominate.

Having continued his upward trajectory with a third career victory at Chester last month, Respond isn't easily dismissed. However, a 9lb hike could anchor the four-year-old, with SALLAAL taken to capitalise. Roger Varian's gelding caught the eye when a never-nearer second over C&D in April and a 5lb higher mark may be workable. Tycoon and Hand Of God are others of interest in their current heart.
An open race where plenty can be given a chance. The well regarded Sallaal has the potential to be better than this class and he was given too much to do when runner up here on his reappearance. He is respected but he has gone up another 5lb and has a wide draw to overcome. One who has an excellent draw from which to attack is dual purpose performer AMMES. He showed some high class form over hurdles over the winter and is only 2lb higher than when runner up on his Flat return. He did shape as if he'd ideally want further than 10f that day but if ridden forwards he can make this into an adequate stamina test. Former Golden Gates winner Hand Of God snapped his losing run last time and remains very well treated on his old form so looks a huge danger if the ground isn't too soft. Perhaps the most interesting horse going forwards is Quai De Bethune who landed that same Ascot contest last year. He returns off a generous mark but is another who may ideally want a bit further and he may just need this outing.
Green and caught flat-footed but finished quite well with good trip on inner 3 1/4l third in Cheshire Oaks (Listed) at Chester most recent run; stays 11f, acts on soft and good; open to improvement but bit to find with fav on form.

Amelia Earhart relished a step up in distance when making a winning return in the Cheshire Oaks and she must rank high on the shortlist. The daughter of Camelot appears to possess all of the attributes required to land a race of this nature and she isn't taken lightly, but LEGACY LINK shades the vote. Having finished her juvenile campaign with a solid fourth in the Fillies' Mile, the Gosdens' inmate displayed a willing attitude when winning the Musidora and that form could prove to be stronger. Irish raiders Thundering On and Cameo add further spice to the mix.
Aidan O'Brien holds a strong hand once again with AMELIA EARHART the choice of Ryan Moore. She has looked quirky but reacted well to the blinkers when landing the Cheshire Oaks last time relishing the step up in trip. She can confirm that form with the unexposed A La Prochaine and defeat Musidora winner Legacy Link who is entitled to come on for that York victory. She proved herself a high class prospect with a good run in the Fillies Mile last year and the way she powered through the line last time suggested that this extra distance wouldn't be an issue. Thundering On is also respected having shown a good turn of foot in the Salsabil Stakes last time winning with plenty left in the tank. She could progress again upped further in trip and reverse form from last year with Sugar Island. Stablemate of the selection Cameo isn't dismissed either after a decisive victory at Lingfield last time though that did come on a quicker surface.
Disappointing handicap debut beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Newbury last time; suited by 7/8f, acts on soft and good; fair mark on French form but must leave form of stable debut behind.
He has won four times from 1m to 1m 1f on ground varying from good to soft and on the all-weather. Beaten 7l behind Linwood at 80-1 when 19th of 24 on his latest outing at Newbury over 1m (good) in April.

Richard Hannon's gelding returned with a solid ninth in the Spring Cup at Newbury and any improvement could see him score. Mister Winston and Celeborn are also worth a second look in an open contest.
ASMEN WARRIOR benefitted from a positive ride when dropped to 1m last time and has an excellent draw to do the same here with the perfect jockey on board. He is well treated off an unchanged mark and the addition of blinkers could deliver further improvement so he is chosen ahead of the consistent Celeborn who wears cheekpieces for the first time. He has had his issues but he's a C&D winner and should come on for his latest run so looks a huge danger. Consistent bottom weight Final Night can reverse form with his re-opposing rivals from last time and fill the podium.

ARDISIA was highly tried after he won the Redcar Two Year Old Trophy last year and ran with credit on multiple occasions. The son of Ardad has a wealth of experience and his commendable durability is persuasive. Northern Champion and Postmodern are closely matched based on their clash in a conditions event at Meydan in February. The former was last seen in the Group 1 Al Quoz Sprint and can confirm his superiority over the latter at this level. Oisin Murphy chases a hat-trick of wins in this contest and his presence in the saddle is a boost for Stellar Sunrise.
STELLAR SUNRISE proved progressive in his short handicap career and demonstrated that he was capable at this level when third in the King Charles II Stakes last time. He arguably challenged a bit too early that day and could make further improvement here. If doing so he can account for the similarly unexposed Greek Mythology who showed a willing attitude when placed behind more experienced rivals in the Owenstown Stud Stakes last time. The Irish raider can fill the places with progressive handicapper Ten Carat Harry who proved himself equally effective on turf last time.

Rhoscolyn won this in 2021 and 2024 and his liking for Epsom is handy, while Pietro is another C&D winner that can put his experience to good use. However, the latter was no match for DANCE IN THE STORM at Chester's May meeting and the Andrew Balding-trained filly shades the vote. Drawn wide that day, the daughter of Night Of Thunder showed her mettle under a skilful ride from the retained Oisin Murphy. A 6lb rise might not prevent the partnership from completing a brace. Hat-trick seeker, Zarathos, is another must for the shortlist.
DANCE IN THE STORM needed every yard when winning at Chester last time but a 6lb rise looks lenient and she's entitled to come on for that outing. She should get a strong pace to aim at here and can follow up at the expense of Colombier who travelled well for a long way on his stable debut at Ascot. He failed to get home over 1m that day but this trip on soft ground is ideal and he is dangerously treated on his old French form. Veblen Good bounced back to form with a last time out win and is only 3lb higher here. He remains unexposed and will be a big player if his stamina holds out over this longer trip.
