      In depth

      Verdict

      Cunco is going to attract plenty of attention in this as he's the first foal of the brilliant Frankel to make it to the racecourse. His dam won over7f and a mile as a two-year-old, though stayed further. Andrew Balding's Isomer is related to a Grade 2 winner in the States but a watching brief is advised on the Sylvester Kirk pair Latest Quest and Zamadance. Zebulon has to be of interest as he's a half-brother to numerous winners and his yard are always to be feared in juvenile heats but we like the look of OCEANUS. The in-form Ed Dunlop won a division of this last year and his Born To Sea colt is from the same family as the speedy Hayil – Ryan Moore rides.
