In depth
Verdict
There is a large turnout for the nursery, but Fools Entire comes from a stable that excels in this sphere, with Morag and Lyrical Girl just two others who can make their presence felt. Fools Entire failed to see out the trip when tried over a mile at Musselburgh and is returned to his normal trip. He has been a bit frustrating but there is definitely a race to be won with him judged on an earlier effort at Warwick. Mick Channon has few peers in these type of events and Fools Entire does not look badly treated. Morag has already won twice and performed with credit behind the very useful Nyramba at Ascot last week. That is good form and she is on the short-list along with Lyrical Girl. She has been knocking at the door and might just have found conditions too fast when taken off her feet at Bath last time. Of the rest, Warm Hill is worth a mention, but Fools Entire is given another chance.
