Newmarket 14:00 - Foundation
This might develop into a match between the unbeaten duo Deauville and Foundation, and the latter is preferred on the back of his smooth success in a listed race at Haydock last time. John Gosden's charge is more about style than substance at the moment but he has looked an exciting prospect in winning both starts, barely needing to come off the bridle. The powerful way in which he travels suggests that he's capable of cutting it at this level, and he gets the nod.
Newmarket 14:35 - Besharah
Besharah finished behind Illuminate when the pair clashed in the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket's July meeting, but Williams Haggas' juvenile has subsequently improved, winning a Group 3 at Ascot and the Group 2 Lowther at York, and she sets the standard. Besharah has thrived on racing this term and, versatile in regards to underfoot conditions, she holds outstanding claims here.
Newmarket 15:50 - Earth Drummer
Earth Drummer won three times during a busy campaign last season and he has shaped well on all three outings this year, his latest effort over an extended 10 furlongs at York being particularly eye-catching. Earth Drummer made notable headway to get into contention at York but he couldn't sustain the effort and eventually finished a creditable sixth. He's likely to benefit from dropping back in trip and having a stronger pace to chase, so makes obvious appeal for shrewd connections who may have had this valuable prize on the agenda for some time.
