In depth
Verdict
Not a lot to go on and in the absence of the market, Suhayl Star is offered up ahead of Riverside Dancer. Mick Channon's colt is bred to get much further than this trip and was an expensive purchase at the sales. He is likely to be forward in his work. Riverside Dancer is much more sprint-bred than her rival. A daughter of Stravinsky, she is closely related to a number of 5f and 6f performers. Beckenhams Secret could be suited by the orientation of the track. He hung violently right on debut and was soon outpaced. Chip Leader was unfancied on debut and ran accordingly. Dear One looks on breeding to be the sort that will make up into a better three-year-old. Monk Glas was cheaply bought and could be anything. Suhayl Star gets the tentative vote.
