In depth
Verdict
Grandiloquent is a half-brother to three middle-distance winners, hence an early entry in the Derby, and he should be noted if attracting strong support on his debut. Muhamee is also related to a 1m4f winner and is another newcomer to keep an eye on, but fellow Godolphin runner EQUITY CARD has the proven form. She has a couple of placed efforts at Kempton to her credit and looks sure to improve stepping up in trip. It's A Privilege showed improvement to finish third last time and better is expected from Grain Of Sand and Mr Fong.
