In depth

Verdict

Luhaif has looked as though he's needed further on both starts over 6f while Mowhoob appeared ready for this sort of trip on his debut at Yarmouth though he showed signs of temperament. MYSTERIAL made a very promising debut over 5f at Newmarket and was all the rage when tackling an extra furlong at Newbury but the slow pace was against him and he didn't get going until too late. This looks his trip and ground and he can gain compensation. Haverstock will have learnt from his debut at Leicester while the Goldolphin debutant Filfil is an 80,000gns first foal of a useful Canadian mare and Richard Fahey's Cielo Rojo is related to several winners up to a mile so should have enough pace. Pearl Spice is by Dalakhani out of a mare who won over 1m2f though she's already produced some speedy performers.
