In depth
Verdict
Richard Hannon's juveniles continue in top form and there should be plenty of improvement to come from Scythian who will be suited by the extra furlong after never troubling the leaders over the minimum at Windsor on his debut. Easy Rider showed the benefit of his fi4rst outing when second over 6f at Brighton lst time while Cesare Borgia will find this more to his liking after cutting little ice over Chester's sharp five on his introduction. Newcomer Storming Docklands, a colt by Allied Forces out of a Lear Fan mare, should be noted in the market.
