In depth
Verdict
Provocative a good second behind Vodka Bleu on his debut at Haydock is taken to score. He is sure to have learnt from the experience and he will be hard to beat under similar conditions. Conchita had Duringthenight behind when they were third and sixth respectively on there debuts. They are both sure to have learnt from the experience and the market may prove the best guide as to what is expected. Montesino is a well bred gelding from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market. Globe Beauty is a mare by Shalford and is another to keep an eye on in the market.
