In depth

Verdict

UNITED FRONT was sent to Newbury for his debut and ran a race full of promise to finish fourth behind three well-supported rivals including a stable companion. That should have brought him on enough for this and riding arrangements suggest he can take care of stablemates Royal Lytham and San Pedro. Prince Of Naples followed a promising debut at the Curragh with a good run at Listowel where he didn't get the run of the race while Dark Vader will be better for his run at the Curragh where he showed good pace until weakening.
