Verdict
KOY KOY was just behind a subsequent winner when making late headway on debut over 6f at Salisbury. He’ll appreciate the extra furlong here and could offer some value against likely favourite and Royal Lodge entry Saga, who has found only one too good in both starts so far. Monet's Sunrise is a likely improver after a second at Goodwood and none of the newcomers can be left out of the reckoning if attracting market support.
