In depth
Verdict
Saheem makes plenty of appeal on breeding and a watchful eye on the market should be employed as to the confidence behind his chance. However, Prime Attraction is going the right way and, if he can stay out of trouble this time, he may take all the beating. Jack Lynch and Raving lord are others to consider.
