Verdict
FREE NATION was beaten less than a length at Windsor on his debut despite having to race wide and Danny Tudhope dropping his whip. He can open his account in this while both Sky Warrior and Bandello finished fourth on their respective debuts and look likely improvers. Several of the newcomers are worth a second glance especially Point Given, a 270,000gns yearling and a half-brother to seven winners including the high-class Toormore. Speeding Bullet and Welcome Dream are others to note.
