Verdict
None of these two-year-olds have raced over this far yet but Ryan Moore was on board the Coolmore-owned War Eagle when he only found one too good over a mile at Epsom and the latter will likely improve for the longer trip. But so will ALNADIR, an unlucky third over 7f at York on his debut when badly hampered by the eventual winner. Simon Crisford’s colt is also preferred to Fearless Warrior, a disappointment at Lingfield last time, but Mind The Crack has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and is a newcomer to note.
