In depth
Verdict
Gracilis was a most progressive performer last term rattling up four consecutive victories during the summer and will be sharper for a pleasing return when third under top weight at Newcastle last month. Johnny Oscar is a half brother to stablemate and Irish St Leger hero Arctic Owl and can be expected to progress again this term having had relatively little racing while Caqui D'Or wasn't unduly knocked around when fifth in the Queen's Prize and is capable of better.
