    10,000gns yearling; 17-2 at Bath (5.7f, firm) three weeks ago but she got the hang of things in the closing stages and flew home to score by just over 3l; that was a striking debut but she has plenty to find on this big step up in class.

    Verdict

    Aidan O'Brien has won two of the last four renewals and he has leading claims with Sun Goddess, who was impressive in a Curragh maiden last month and sets the standard on that form. Jolivette made a bright start with her cosy win at Newmarket and she's respected along with Hidden Gift, who was a major eye-catcher at Ripon and is open to plenty of progress on this step up in trip. Light Of Dawn has a similar profile to last year's winner and she's an interesting contender for Karl Burke, while several others have also shown striking potential, including Libertango and King's Prize. However, the vote goes to SILENT BEAUTY, who cost 1,000,000euros as a yearling and looked a star in the making when she surged clear on her debut at Yarmouth.[David Moon]
