In depth
Verdict
Assagher returned a beaten favourite at Wolverhampton last time and Robbie Havlin abandons him for stablemate and newcomer Mr Singh. High Admiral cost 160,000gns and is another debutant to note along with Qatar Falcon. Cloud Seven posted a better effort last time and could figure but STAY STRONG may come out best of these with an outing at Wolverhampton under his belt and the Godolphin colt gets a speculative vote.
