        In depth

        Verdict

        Jim Bolger had four of the original eleven entries and relies on Freedom Of Speech and Missing Matron. Kevin Manning chooses the former and though she's by Australia she's a half-sister to a 5f two-year-old winner. Aidan O'Brien's Cadamosto cost £130,000 and is by No Nay Never out of a 6f two-year-old winner so should have pace to burn. SILVER SURFER is the first runner by the very speedy Caravaggio out of a winning sprinter from a very speedy family. He cost 100,000gns as a yearling and can get off to a winning start. Satin Snake is related to three winning two-year-olds while Turn On The Jets is by a sprinter out of a very speedy mare.
