In depth
Verdict
Speed Dating changed hands after finishing third in an above-average seller at York in June but has shown he handles soft going. Genever Dragon is improving with experience but may be vulnerable to a couple of newcomers. Wyclif is a 30,000gns colt out of a Montjeu mare but SEA TROUT REACH cost 44,000gns as a yearling at Tattersalls last year and may be better suited to conditions being bred for stamina.
