      In depth

      Verdict

      Priory Bay can get the better of Extractor and Serene Highness in a tricky opener. Extractor is a son of Siphon out of a Fairy King mare so has plenty of speed in the pedigree and hailing from the powerful John Dunlop yard commands respect. Any market move for the debutant should be heeded. Stable companion Serene Highness is another to consider, although being by an Alydar mare a longer trip would suit. Once again the market should be watched closely and the stable¿s second runner in the race can go well at a nice price. Ed Dunlop¿s yard is going well-he had a winner on Thursday, and Priory bay can step up on a promising debut. He was doing all his best work in the closing stages and this looks an ideal winning opportunity. Priory bay can take this.
