In depth
Verdict
Several made promising debuts over the minimum trip and have claims. That list includes Salisbury runner-up Raging and also Fair And Square, who finished second at Windsor when well clear of the rest. But PODEROSO was beaten less than a length when third at Newbury and Charlie Hills’ colt may prove the one to side with. Instinctive Move, Buying Time and Dayem are newcomers to keep an eye on.
