DOUBLE: Ialysos and Sea The Stars
Sea The Stars has already confirmed himself as the best colt of his generation and can take within his stride a first clash with his elders in the Coral-Eclipse.
Plenty was expected of this son of Cape Cross, being a half-brother to the brilliant Galileo, and he has proved to be every bit as good, winning the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket before allaying any stamina doubts in the Derby at Epsom.
Ominously for his rivals, it could be that this mile and a quarter is actually his optimum trip, and the lightning-fast conditions at Sandown should also play to his strengths.
Last year's St Leger and Breeders' Cup Turf winner Conduit could provide most resistance, but it is hard to see him having the same turn of foot as John Oxx's brilliant charge.
Derby winners admittedly do not have a good record in recent renewals of the Eclipse, but none of them had previously shown enough speed to win a Guineas.
Sea The Stars really does look every inch a superstar.
The sprinters take centre stage in the Coral Charge and it is worth taking a chance on Cumani's Greek import Ialysos to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Royal Ascot.
The five-year-old was simply untouchable in his native land and although the opposition he faced there is probably questionable, some of the times he turned in over the minimum distance show he is certainly no slouch.
He was a narrow winner of a Listed event at Haydock on his first start on British soil but then looked all at sea in a rough renewal of the Golden Jubilee.
The experience of running in such a big field at pace may have taught Ialysos a thing or two.
With this stiff five furlongs right up his street, he should be involved in the finish.
High Heeled ran a mighty race to finish third in the Oaks at Epsom and a slight drop in class should see her regain her winning thread at Haydock.
Barry Hills' filly was mightily impressive at Newbury back in April but then appeared to have her limitations exposed in the Musidora at York.
However, she improved that run to be all wrong when going down by less than three lengths to Sariska in Classic company and a reproduction of that should see her take the bet365 Lancashire Oaks.
Trade Secret has shown a very decent level of form so far this season and few would begrudge him an overdue success in the Leisure Furnishings Maiden Stakes at Beverley.
Mel Brittain's inmate was not beaten far into fourth on his Doncaster debut and then chased home the smart Archers Road at Newcastle.
He then finished fourth in a red-hot maiden, won by No Hubris at York, before returning to the Knavesmire to fill the runner-up spot once again.
He faces what looks the easiest task of his career in East Yorkshire and he should make it count.
Ask Frank went into the notebook when third on his debut at Ayr and should be followed in Carlisle's Northern Security Ltd Maiden Auction Stakes.
The son of Hawk Wing travelled like a really good horse north of the border before a lack of race-fitness possible caught up with him late on.
He is likely to know more about the job this time around and will not have to improve a massive amount to come home in front.
Whooshka landed a few hefty bets on her racecourse introduction at Newbury and is a fascinating contender in the John Smith's EBF Fillies' Handicap at Leicester.
Peter Chapple-Hyam's filly had clearly being showing plenty before the first start of her career and she showed a willing attitude to score by a neck.
An initial handicap mark of 78 looks workable, with improvement likely, and she should not be dismissed lightly.
Danny's Choice was only beaten a nose on her debut and the Matthews & Tannert Median Auction Maiden Stakes at Nottingham looks hers for the taking.
