In depth

Verdict

Ice Slice has arguably the best piece of form on offer with a second at Newmarket last week but Richard Hughes has deserted him for stablemate and newcomer YAAKOOUM. The 145,000gns purchase is a half-brother to the useful Breton Rock and the jockey's preference points to a big run on his debut. The Hannon team also run Exceed And Exceed and Decimus Maximus while Clodoaldo and First Flight are other newcomers to note along with Faure Island, a half-brother to smart stable companion Cape Peron. Mister Mayday looks next best of those with experience.
