He built on a satisfactory debut when beating the subsequent Horris Hill & Greenham winner Mohaather by three and threequarter lengths at Newbury in September before shaping well in a Listed contest when third to San Donato at Doncaster. Ryan Moore takes the ride and a strong display is expected. Moyassar was a model of consistency last season and could take another step forward having had wind surgery over the winter, while others to note in a competitive event include Yousini, who has been gelded and is another to have his wind tweaked, and Chapelli.

He is a halfbrother to the Group 1placed I Can Fly, who was an impressive winner on her racecourse debut, and his handler has produced a number of good winners in amongst his age group over the past couple of days. William Haggas tends to aim a decent type at this event, having won it in 2012 with subsequent Group 1 winner Mukhadram, so his two runners, Al Hadeer and Desert Icon, both warrant a fair amount of respect with slight preference for the former as he comes from a more speedbased family. Junooh, Wild Animal and Uae Jewel are others to represent top Newmarket yards and are worth a second look. Top Tip: GEOMATRICIAN (4) Watch out for: AL HADEER (1)

He appears well suited by the demands of the Rowley Mile, having won his other start at the track in a handicap at this meeting in 2016, and conditions look ideal for Kevin Ryan's stable star. Dreamfield was disappointing on his last start on the July Course in Listed company but he is surely better than that performance suggests, while Stewards' Cup winner Gifted Master is likely to give it his best from the front end.

However, it is Saeed Bin Suroor's ROYAL MARINE who gets the nod out of the duo in the royal blue as the Group 1 winner looks to build on his fourth in the UAE 2000 Guineas on his first start back on UK soil. Christophe Soumillon comes over for the ride and if the colt was to repeat his Prix JeanLuc Lagardere performance from the autumn then he could prove hard to beat. Set Piece, Global Spectrum, Skardu and Jackstar are all unbeaten and can't be ruled out, while Confiding (third) looks to have Watan (fifth) covered on the form of their meeting in the Solario Stakes at Sandown and Martyn Meade's charge also placed in a Group 2 earlier in the summer last year. Top Tip: ROYAL MARINE (6) Watch out for: ZAKOUSKI (10) 10 (2) 0 SECRET TREATIES 176 b f Heeraat Honky Tonk Queen () STARLIGHT b f Iffraaj Ighraa 12 (7) 7 THAKAA (USA) 128 b f Lemon Drop Kid Yaqeen Hayley Turner Mrs C A Dunnett J P Spencer M L W Bell Dane O'Neill ATR VERDICT: John Gosden has a strong hand here and it is the mount of Frankie Dettori, HANDMAIDEN, who can use her experience to her advantage to land the spoils having made the podium on all four appearances last season, chasing home useful rivals on each occasion. The step up to seven furlongs is a positive and could ensure she finishes ahead of stablemate Gentlewoman, with the Shamardal newcomer giving her owner a handy second string in the race. Clerisy is a halfsister to Expert Eye and lost little in defeat on debut at Wolverhampton with much more expected here, while Switch For Light is a debutant worthy of a market check. Top Tip: HANDMAIDEN (5) Watch out for: GENTLEWOMAN (4)

The Derby entrant appeared to win with something to spare, and looks an excellent longterm prospect. One Vision was a winning newcomer on Tapeta for Charlie Appleby during the winter and merits plenty of respect, while stablemate Jalmoud narrowly failed to justify favouritism when second at Newcastle in November, although he did shape like the one to take from the contest. 375,000gns foal Mons Star needs a market check on debut for Saeed Bin Suroor. 10 (2) ARCHAEOLOGY 178 b g Charm Spirit Shuttle Mission () 12 (13) 143 OVER THE GUNS (IRE) 197 b g Garswood Princess Rose 044 GOD HAS GIVEN 191 b g Nathaniel Langs Lash J P Spencer Jedd O'Keeffe v1 S De Sousa K R Burke R Kingscote Ian Williams Top Tip: EL MISK (2) Watch out for: ONE VISION (3) 13 (8) JEM SCUTTLE (USA) 144 ch c City Zip Elegantly Wild 3 8 t T Eaves D Carroll (1) GOLD AT MIDNIGHT 14 b f Havana Gold Midnight Ransom p David Probert W Stone (6) 440 PURBECK HILLS (IRE) 126 b c Oasis Dream Albisola Harry Bentley 70

5 ATR VERDICT: GALLIC got off the mark at the fifth time of asking for Ed Walker at Newcastle back in October and looks to be worth following during this early part of the season in handicaps. A mark of 83 seems fair, and it is worth noting that she seemed to enjoy fast ground when fourth in a good maiden on the July Course last summer. Karnavaal landed a gamble on his allweather debut last autumn and should stay even further than this given time, while Brian Epstein and Kamikaze Lord are other names to take seriously.
