That experience 1 2 ARDBRACCAN (IRE) (14) 96 ought not to have been wasted on her and she can come out on top. Newcomer 82 2 9-0 | 57.2kg Ephrata demands a close look, whilst Ardbraccan and Eagle Path complete the shortlist.

Not seen to best effect on return at Lingfield Useful filly who wasn’t discredited when ninth of 11 to Mother Earth in 1000 and latest second wasn’t a return to form. Guineas. Held up in steadily-run race on handicap debut but was still beaten a long way. 12 DECLARED RUNNERS 2 1 HALA HALA HALA (IRE) (22) s 91 BETTING FORECAST: 15209-60 3 9-2 | 58.1kg 4-1 Kingmania, 11-2 Samoot, 6-1 Riknnah, 17-2 Spirit of Bermuda, 11-1 Al Saariyah, Kevin Ryan Tom Eaves 14-1 Nebulosa, 16-1 Liberated Lady, 20-1 Star of Emaraaty, 22-1 Rising Star, 25-1 She Debut winner who advanced her form when second in the Princess Margaret Do, 25-1 Professional Widow, 25-1 Hala Hala Hala last summer.

1 7 QAADER (IRE) (23) (D) 98 24530-217 3 9-7 | 60.3kg Mark Johnston Joe Fanning Useful colt who showed a good attitude to come out on top in 4-runner minor event at Goodwood in April. Fared best of those ridden prominently in Britannia Stakes (Handicap) at Royal Ascot last time.

2 4 LATEST GENERATION (28) (D, BF) t 96 317-62 3 9-2 | 58.1kg Simon & Ed Crisford James Doyle Off the mark in a Doncaster maiden (1m) in September and resumed his progress when beaten only one that had slipped in the weights in 1m handicap at Sandown 4 weeks ago. Should remain competitive.

3 3 ROYAL FLEET (81) (D) 97 1-1 3 9-1 | 57.6kg Charlie Appleby William Buick Unbeaten in 2 starts, defying a penalty in ready fashion at Yarmouth (1m) in April. He’s a smart prospect open to further improvement, and looks well in on handicap debut. 4 6 TITAN ROCK (22) (D) 95 4158-441 3 8-12 | 56.2kg John Quinn Oisin Murphy Found the required improvement to gain a first success in handicap company at Redcar (1m) 22 days ago, but a 5 lb rise in a much stronger race asks for more.

5 5 SEASETT (21) (D) 96 65-5120 3 8-10 | 55.3kg Richard Fahey Paddy Mathers Suited by strong pace when off the mark on Nottingham handicap bow (8.3f) in May. Improved again when second in a similar event at Haydock, but below form in a stronger event at Royal Ascot last time.

6 1 KAHEALL (37) (D) 100 311-1 3 8-9 | 54.9kg William Haggas Tom Marquand Promising sort who confirmed debut promise when landing a 7f Wolverhampton maiden in November. Successful both handicap starts at Chelmsford since and is the type to go on improving now back on turf. 7 2 DARVEL (IRE) (49) s 95 4170-220 3 8-4 | 52.6kg Kevin Ryan David Egan Ayr novice winner last summer. Creditable second in small-field handicaps at Beverley and Haydock this spring, but was well held in a more competitive race at York last time. Cheekpieces on.

7 DECLARED RUNNERS BETTING FORECAST: 15-8 Royal Fleet, 3-1 Kaheall, 13-2 Latest Generation, 7-1 Qaader, 14-1 Seasett, 14-1 Titan Rock, 16-1 Darvel TIMEFORM VIEW: ROYAL FLEET has created an excellent impression in winning both his starts to date and, with the latest of those working out well, an opening BHA mark of 93 could easily underestimate him, especially with further improvement on the cards. Kaheall is an interesting rival given he’s a similarly unexposed type from a top yard, while Qaader shouldn’t be taken lightly either. TIMEFORM 1-2-3: 1. ROYAL FLEET 2. KAHEALL 3.

Form pick. 3 8 GREAT MAX (IRE) (21) (D) 97 13 2 9-1 | 57.6kg Michael Bell Rossa Ryan Had a bit in hand when making a winning debut in a Newbury novice and showed useful form when third to a pair of highly-promising colts in Chesham at Royal Ascot 9 days later. Solid contender.

4 3 MASEKELA (IRE) (21) 90 15 2 9-1 | 57.6kg Andrew Balding Oisin Murphy Came from off the pace to make a winning debut in soft-ground novice at Goodwood. Sent off second favourite for Chesham at Royal Ascot next time but could manage only fifth with no obvious excuses.

5 5 MOT AND THE MESSER (IRE) (23) 91 51 2 9-1 | 57.6kg Tom Dascombe Martin Harley Offered something to work on when fifth in Haydock maiden and duly proved much sharper second-time up when quickening clear in impressive fashion in Ripon novice. Open to further progress.

6 2 MR MCCANN (IRE) (9) (D) 92 311 2 9-1 | 57.6kg Tom Dascombe Jane Elliott Confirmed debut promise when landing novice at Lingfield and defied penalty in good style at Haydock 9 days ago, making all in a good time. Has made fine start to career so not to be underestimated.

Has scope for plenty more improvement.

He’s worth another chance with that form the best on offer. Great Max is high on the shortlist after his useful effort in the Chesham, while Charlie Appleby has an excellent recent record in this so Native Trail and Private Signal must be respected.

TIMEFORM VIEW: William Haggas’ AMETIST has gone unbeaten in four runs since his debut and looked to have a fair bit more in the locker when flying home to score over C&D last time. He can complete a five-timer at the chief expense of Britannia-hero Perotto, who also saddles a 6lb penalty. Stylish Chelmsford scorer Jumaira Bay enters calculations and Boardman rates a lively outsider too in a cracking handicap.
