In depth
Verdict
Threebars is probably open to improvement but her half-brother Khabib is a sprinter. GOLDEN SPEECH, runner-up to useful types twice at Sandown last July, should be getting off the mark in this if fully wound-up though stablemate First Sight is definitely worth a second look as he was too green to do himself justice at Wolverhampton last month. I'm Too Tired’s future will probably lie in handicaps after this but Redcliff Glen has been gelded since his debut at Newbury last summer.
