In depth

Verdict

A couple of these made winning debuts with Done Deal successful over track and trip and the Godolphin colt Piece Of History scoring at Leicester. Both should be thereabouts at the finish but are conceding weight to the newcomer WEEKDAY. The first foal of Group 1 winner Timepiece and partnered by Ryan Moore, she gets a speculative vote in this. Exeat and With A Star have some improving to do to figure while Shaji, Glorious Winger and Duchess Of Avon are other newcomers to note.
