In depth

Verdict

DHALAM was only beaten a neck at Kempton on his recent debut and should be sharper than most. He’s preferred to the others with experience, who have shown little so far. Jim Crowley prefers Anif to fellow newcomer Saaheq while Ryan Moore partners Musical Terms, the first foal of a Listed winner. Magellan is a half-brother to a Group 3 winner among others and Archetype is another related to several winners.
