In depth

Verdict

Duck Egg Blue was a 20/1 chance on her debut here last month but ran well for a long way and would have finished closer but for being hampered. She should do better but Ger Lyons, who won this last year, had three entries at the early stage and relies on ROCK IN PEACE. He's by Kodiac out of a mare who won over this trip as a two-year-old so should have pace to burn. Youarewonder hails from a yard that can get one ready and though he's bred for further the market should provide some clues. Yulong Baobei is by Choisir out of a 6f winner from a very speedy family and she's definitely one to keep an eye on.
