Haydock

The horse the editorial tips at the top of the list, and her purchase price of 450,000 guineas makes her the most expensive horse in the field. Trained by Karl Burke, whose jockey Clifford Lee has built up an impressive 226-win partnership with the yard, she arrives with serious backing in terms of both money spent and stable reputation. She draws in stall 6, right in the low-draw sweet spot where horses at this course and distance perform best.

The editorial singles her out as the biggest threat to the favourite, and at 400,000 guineas paid at a breeze-up sale she is among the most expensive horses in this field. A breeze-up purchase means she has already been put through a public workout to showcase her speed, so the yard have seen something they like before committing that kind of money. Draws wide in stall 11, which is a slight disadvantage on this track, but the price tag and the trainer George Boughey's strong record make her hard to ignore.

The third debutant by the sprinting sire Minzaal in this field alone — alongside Bint Minzaal and Minzelle — which tells you this bloodline is thought to produce quick, ready-to-run youngsters. She sits in the best draw in the race at stall 1, and at 7/1 she is one of the shorter-priced newcomers, suggesting some market confidence. No racecourse form to go on, but the combination of draw and trainer Owen Burrows makes her interesting.

A debut runner by No Nay Never, the same sire as Libertango, who has built a strong reputation for producing fast, precocious two-year-olds that hit the ground running. At 11/1 she is one of the shorter-priced debutants in the field, suggesting some market interest, and her low draw in stall 3 is an asset on this track. Trainer Ed Walker and jockey Kieran Shoemark have combined for 43 wins together, so this is a well-organised partnership.
