In depth
Verdict
The Haggas yard had every chance in the previous division and run a similar type in this in COLD FRONT. The latter has found one too good in all three starts so far but still finished well clear of the rest at Yarmouth last month and can finally get his head in front. Raaed looks a threat having finished less than a length behind the winner when third over track and trip on his debut while Magic Voice finished a bit closer at Ripon last time without threatening. The remainder with experience make little appeal but the Godolphin newcomer Future King is a 300,000gns purchase worth noting.
