In depth
Verdict
This might not take much winning and a couple of debutantes are worth noting. Chickpea’s half-brother Lost At Sea won on his debut as a two-year-old and the Dandy Man filly Dandiesque is a half-sister to two winners. Misty Spirit only found one too good last time at Lingfield and Tiny Tempest didn't get the best of runs when fourth at Epsom. COLLATERAL BEAUTY showed promise at Pontefract in June and never saw daylight in a much better race next time at York. Richard Fahey’s charge may benefit from further in time but should be competitive in a contest like this. Gold Eagle is also capable of better.
