In depth

Verdict

Present Tense is a half-sister to Group 1 winner Kingman among others though has no fancy entries as of yet and Mushareefa is related to a Group 2 winner. That pair are preferred to fellow newcomers Zamfir and Albizzia but DESERT DREAM is the speculative selection. Sir Michael Stoute’s colt has racecourse experience with a modest debut effort at Haydock in October and Ryan Moore takes over the reins today. Teqany is another to note on his return to action.
