CERCLE D'OR (IRE) (Acclamation {GB}) is a half-sister to the sensation of 2015, Golden Horn (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}), who starts out for the partnership of Sangster, Lascelles and McCalmont for the same John Gosden stable. Two other newcomers who catch the eye are Al Shaqab Racing's Ghand (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a 500,000gns TATOCT graduate who represents the Sir Michael Stoute stable and whose dam is a stakes-producing full-sister to the MGISW Arravale (Arch) and Godolphin's Ocean of Love (GB) (Distorted Humor), a Saeed bin Suroor-trained daughter of the G2 Ribblesdale S. winner and MG1SP Michita (Dynaformer).

MY ROSIE (IRE) (Redoute's Choice {Aus}) is a daughter of the G1 Irish 1000 Guineas third My Branch (GB) (Distant Relative {Ire}) and therefore a half-sister to the G1 Haydock Sprint Cup heroine Tante Rose (Ire) (Barathea {Ire}) who was a 400,000gns TATOCT acquisition by Lord Lloyd-Webber. John Gosden introduces the bay alongside her stablemate Bizzarria (GB) (Lemon Drop Kid), an Anthony Oppenheimer-owned and bred full-sister to last year's GI Canadian International hero Cannock Chase and another smart performer in the MGSW Pisco Sour.
