In depth

Verdict

Mellad is the only one with racecourse experience and should improve on his Ayr debut when looking very green. He should appreciate the additional furlong too. However, there are some interesting newcomers to consider and a chance is taken with JUAN ELCANO, a son of Frankel from a yard perfectly adept at readying a newcomer. The Archie Watson juveniles continue to operate in tremendous fashion and World Title needs to kept on the right side and Mark Johnston unveils Subjectivist, a son of Teofilo. The remaining pair may well need more time and this is a contest in which the market may well steer punters in the right direction.
