In depth

Verdict

A couple of these finished a close-up third on their respective debuts. Mr Mccann attempted to make all over the minimum trip at Leicester but FOZZIE BEAR was beaten only a short-head in a bunch finish over track and trip and Roger Charlton’s charge may prove the one to side with. Silken Petals disappointed at Redcar having earlier finished runner-up at Kempton but is still preferred to Galileo Glass while the newcomer Ibn Aldar is the second foal of a winning sprinter.
