In depth

Verdict

Daltrey looks nothing out of the ordinary but finished closer last time and may prove best of those with experience along with Naval Officer. But one of the newcomers could prove good enough in this with COMPLETION preferred. A half-brother to a couple of winners, the Haggas yard is still firing-in the winners, while Godolphin introduce the 300,000 euros purchase First Contact. Assimile is the first foal of a useful sprinter so should have plenty of pace.
