In depth
Verdict
A small but competitive field goes to post for this median auction affair and Kahyasi Prince is taken to break his maiden tag. The colt from the bang-in-form Mark Johnston yard has shown enough in three runs this season to suggest he can win a race of this nature, and his latest third behind Hasanpour reads well in the context of this race. You Never No was a fair fourth behind King's Protector last season on his last run, doing all his best work at the finish, so he is sure to be suited by the step up in trip. Island Lady was second behind Lesath last time on only her second run and she is sure to improve but may do better once she is handicapped. Rahbar is from a top yard in good form and any market confidence should be noted.
