In depth
Verdict
El Torito never threatened when third here on last month’s debut but still makes most appeal of those with experience. However, it won’t take much to beat him and JUAN HORSEPOWER makes most appeal of the newcomers representing Richard Hannon’s yard. He cost £50,000 and is a half-brother to a winning sprinter. Isomer is another to note on his debut and Debonaire David is related to several winning sprinters.
