Verdict

Midnight Sands ran in a hot contest on debut at Beverley and then took his chance in the Coventry Stakes. He has ability but there is a doubt over this step up in trip. Swissterious may be suited by further judged on his second at Wolverhampton and there are some nice newcomers in this if pedigree is a guide. Godolphin’s Gentle Look could be a decent middle-distance prospect for next season but Summer Moon changed hands for just 1,000gns in November, though is out of a Group 3 winner. BIG BABY BULL cost only €13,000 euros as a foal but was sold for £70,000 as a yearling. He’s out of Galileo mare and this trip should suit. Kensington Art, Old Red Eyes and Global Warning are all worth a market check.
