In depth
Verdict
PETRASTAR has gone close over 1m2f at Windsor in both starts so far. He found only Midi, now rated 88 having scored again since, too good last time and gets the vote on that form. Enbihaar finished behind a horse rated 78 when placed at Chelmsford on her debut while Butterfield showed some promise when third at Goodwood a fortnight ago. Mobham also made a decent start at Goodwood back in June but something went amiss n his latest start while Toshima cost 300,000gns, Sparkling Surf is a half-sister to Group 1 winner Kitesurf and Hainaut is also related to winners at the highest level.
