Verdict
Troll Peninsula is a half-brother to a 7f winner and the Poet’s Voice filly Poetry And Art is also worth a market check but ALEXEJ can start making up for lost time by landing this. A 200,000gns yearling, the Muhaarar colt is out of a Group 3 winner in France who was at her best on yielding surfaces. Thrill Seeker finished last at Ascot more than a year ago but that race has produced a host of winners so the performance looks better now than it did at the time.
