In depth
Verdict
ASMUND finished well clear of the rest when beaten less than a length at York on his debut. Karl Burke’s colt looks the one to beat in this lesser company on that form. Pearlwood failed to show any improvement at Hamilton last time while Dancinginthesand went backwards on his latest start having placed at Beverley earlier. Midnight Mimosa may prove a bigger threat given she’s a half-sister to a Group 3 winner and is preferred to fellow newcomer Ralphy Boy Two.
