In depth
Verdict
Cherokee Run was a 66/1 chance on his debut last month but belied his odds by chasing home Dabirann and should come on for the experience. News At Ten makes his debut here having finished fourth at Gowran in July but Rhythm And Tyne wasn't beaten far on his debut over track and trip last month and should have made enough progress to get into contention. Tabuk has been looking as though this longer trip was required but this doesn't look the most difficult of races and the 160,000gns Frankel colt FLAGSTAFF GARDENS may be good enough to make a winning start. Teutates, a son of Churchill, is another newcomer to note.
