In depth
Verdict
Will Sommers was an eye-catcher on debut at Ayr last September and has been gelded since. His experience could be a big factor today and he’ll relish the extra so he’s preferred to My Vision but a couple of first-timers are also worth considering including ROBERTO ESCOBARR. A €145,000 yearling, he’s a brother to useful middle-distance performer Pablo Escobarr and represents a powerful Newmarket stable. Fiesta De Vega also has a nice middle-distance pedigree and should be winning soon but Momentsaftamidnite is Dirt bred.
