In depth
Verdict
The market is likely to give the biggest clues regarding these newcomers but we’ll take a chance on FARRANTS WAY as Venetia Williams introduced a decent bumper horse at Warwick last week and the yard appears in better form now. The Shantou gelding cost €85,000 last year and is a half-brother to the useful Space Cadet so is preferred to stablemate Supervisor. Mr Grey Sky was a €92,000 purchase and is also related to winners while Chuffy Chuffnell, Tower View and Big Nasty also warrant a mention.
