In depth
Verdict
Catan might improve for a modest Windsor debut but others make more appeal. House Of Kings ran green at Newbury last month but that was an encouraging first run and he’ll know more today. FLYING DRAGON (NAP) changed hands for £175,000 after finishing a close second over this trip at Chantilly in July. Now with Richard Hannon, the War Command colt can get off the mark here. Dark Glory and Natty Night are newcomers worth a market check.
