In depth
Verdict
Precious little form to go on and the market will prove an invaluable guide. Richard Hannon has made a bright start to the season and the East Everleigh handler may add to the tally with Prince Of Denmark. The son of Danetime makes plenty of appeal on breeding, being related to winners abroad, and it would be no surprise if he proved sharp enough to score at the first time of asking. Bill Turner is another trainer to follow with his juveniles and his representative, Lady Killer, is bred to be a precocious type. The Daggers Drawn filly can make an impact while Penel, who is by Orpen and a half-brother to a juvenile winner, is another to consider in an interesting opener.
