There was plenty to like about U S S Constitution’s debut run at Sandown and he looks the main danger to OJ LIFESTYLE. Gary Moore’s Gleneagles colt was a huge price on his second start at Newbury but still out-battled the odds-on Leadman with the pair pulling clear of the remainder. Royal Jet looks the most interesting of the newcomers being a half-brother to four winners including the Group 3 and Listed winner Dibajj, though Connemara Coast is also worth a market check with Ryan Moore on board.
