      Predicted 1st

      Speed of Sound

      10/1

      Tops the deterministic model at 6.85; best combined market move and speed score in the field at 10/1 makes her the most rewarded signal in a wide-open debutantes' heat.

    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      Desert Smoke

      7/1

      SR 149 and the equal-best speed figure in the model; Murphy's booking for Palmer's yard in a six-furlong Newmarket maiden is never idle, debutante or not.

      Acting Lady

      5/2

      Highest SR in the field at 154 and Buick's confidence is real, but the negative market move and class-change flag cap her to third in this projection.

      Blue Bolt

      11/4

      Model's top scorer at 6.50, back-to-back wins in form, going and speed signals align, and 11/4 represents genuine value against a drifting favourite.

      Precise

      4/5

      SR 131 is the field's highest and Ryan Moore keeps her honest throughout, but the market drift and weight concession undermine her case for the top spot.

    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Jancis

      10/1

      The strongest market-move in the field at +0.8 is a genuine signal; Sean Levey has a live each-way claim at 10/1 if the pace suits.

      Predicted 4th

      Evolutionist

      16/1

      SR 109 is modest but the going and form drivers are positive, and 16/1 leaves room for a placed effort if the fancied runners disappoint.

      Goblet Of Fire

      Beylerbeyi

      Libertango

      Ruby Moon

      25/1

      SR 131 and a clean winning form line give Ryan Moore something to work with; the -0.6 market-move signal keeps her out of the frame places.

      Decade Of Time

      6/1

      Three wins from three, the field's highest deterministic score at 6.38, and the strongest market move signal at +0.8 — the progressive three-year-old at a fair price.

    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      Laureate Crown

      9/2

      SR 105 is the field's highest rating and a 110 run sequence shows Hugo Palmer has him in career-best form; speed driver at +0.5 is second-best in the field.

      Placed — Finished 3rd
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Evanesco

      9/2

      Deterministic rank second at 6.25 with a +0.8 market move matching Decade Of Time, but the 17-417 form string is less convincing than three consecutive wins.

      Missed — Finished 5th
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Princling

      9/4

      William Haggas and Tom Marquand are a dangerous combination, but a 22-145 form line at 9/4 favourite suggests the market is overstating recent improvement.

      Shipbourne

      7/2

      SR 100, top-rated in the field, carrying 9-0 off a clean 13-1 form line with the strongest model score at 6.99 and a meaningful market-move signal backing the assessment.

      Spanish Voice

      9/2

      SR 96 with Ryan Moore and a 187101 form string demands respect, but 10-1 weight conceding 7lb to Shipbourne on this track is the ceiling.

    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      The Joker

      15/2

      SR 91, lightly weighted at 8-10, and a 9-3321 form string showing progressive placed efforts — maps as the danger from off the pace at the right price.

      Predicted 4th

      Priapos

      9/1

      Morris Dancer

    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      Wild Desert

      9/2

      SR 115, consistent 1232- form, Moore booked — the class-change drag from juvenile to Listed pulls him just short of Morris Dancer on the day.

      Colori Forever

      7/1

      SR 112, form positive on going and speed, model second-ranked among the chasing pack at 5.55 — Marco Ghiani capable of producing him for a late rattle.

      Shayem

      7/2

      Tall Trees

      13/2

      SR 150, model-second at 5.98, positive market-move driver, and Marquand booked — the improving form arc from debut to second run points to a filly ready to graduate today.

      Peaceful Charm

      4/7

      SR 156 is the class of the field and Buick won't be far back — but a debutante at 4/7 conceding nothing to exposed rivals is a short price for an unknown quantity.

      Madam Secretary

      17/2

      SR 148 and Ryan Moore for O'Brien at 17/2 is a combination that routinely runs into a place; a third on debut gives her a clear form line over the others outside the top two.

      Predicted 4th

      Scommessa Sicura

      4/1

      Three consecutive seconds — form of 222 — shows Balding's filly is consistent and honest, but SR of 98 means the principals are in a different class once the pace tells.

      Almeric

      Red Spells Danger

      13/2

      The -22112 sequence is the most consistent form string in the race and good-to-firm Newmarket is his ground, but 9-1 will cost him a length and a half at the business end.
