In depth

Verdict

FLEET REVIEW showed the benefit of his opening run with a much better effort behind stable companion U S Navy Flag on this track and the form has worked out well so he looks the one to be on. His stable also run Royal Navy Warship, the first foal of a Group 3 winner though without any fancy entries. Back At Dawn has come up against two very smart Ballydolyle winners and can probably do better though Dream Malfunction finished in front of her behind Happily here when both made their debuts. Goodthingstaketime made an encouraging start behind Gasta here and is another certain to have come on for the experience.
