Daltrey, a 65,000 euros half-brother to a winner over this trip, is almost certainly better than he showed on debut at Newmarket but SALUTE THE SOLDIER probably sets a decent standard on his third at Newbury last month. He can also see off Doncaster runner-up Flavius Titus and Classic Charm, a fair third at Newmarket on her introduction. There are several newcomers to note including Mushtaq, who cost 210,000 guineas, and I Can, a half-brother to the stable’s Showing Off who won over 7f as a three-year-old.
