WALDSTERN (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) earned TDN Rising Star status on his debut at Newmarket last month which has earned him a six-pound penalty in this contest. Gestut Ammerland's half-brother to the recent G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud hero Waldgeist (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) and the G2 Prix de Malleret winner Waldlied (GB) (New Approach {Ire}) looks a class act and it will take something special from the rest to lower his colours. One of the newcomers is Phoenix Thoroughbred Limited's Kadar (Scat Daddy), a Karl Burke-trained relative of Kalanisi (Ire) (Doyoun {GB}) who cost €700,000 at the Arqana May Breeze-Up.
