In depth
Verdict
Royal Distant, Raheed and Farmers Market might be the ones to focus on with Royal Distant getting the nod in a race that lacks strength in depth. John Gosden's has shown promise in a couple of runs to date, including when third to La Coruna at Lingfield last time when stepped up to today's trip. Raheed showed promise on his Ayr debut and the son of Daggers Drawn should improve on that. Martin Pipe's runner Farmer's Market is interesting in that he cost 22,000 guineas and is by Mark Of Esteem out of a Warning mare. The jump brigade are also represented by Wilfred, who runs for Jonjo O'Neill's yard and has shown promise in a couple of runs. Mick Channon's Star Pete might be one to watch in the market but, overall, the one for us is Royal Distant.
