In depth

Verdict

Dragon City was fourth over this trip at Goodwood three runs ago and makes more appeal than Al Guwair, second over 1m2f here last time but no certainty to last home on breeding. Kenny's Girl doesn't appear to be progressing while Wall Street Boss was well beaten on his debut in a Wolverhampton maiden last month. It's taken a while to get MY DIRECTION to the racecourse and he's already been gelded. But he's by Singspiel out of a Caerleon mare who won over a mile in France as a two-year-old so the trip shouldn't be a problem and Mark Johnston obviously think he's with persevering with. He may well be good enough to make a winning start if inexperience doesn't get the better of him.
