Verdict
A couple of these stand out representing powerful yards. Blown Away finished third over 7f at Newmarket behind a Charlie Appleby-trained runner-up and that should give the latter a good handle on the form. He runs STORMY WAVES who has been gelded since placing at Doncaster behind the well regarded War Rooms and this extra distance will suit. Let's Dream and Al Mootamarid look next best of those with experience while Baraq is a 300,000gns purchase related to six winners.
