In depth
Verdict
Plenty of future winners will come from this but maybe King Maximus, Persian Dagger, Residential, Rave Reviews, Courtyard and Land Of Nod are among those to consider but our vote goes to Rave Reviews. The Sadler's Wells filly was noted making late headway on her debut and might be able to make that experience pay. John Gosden's Courtyard is bred for middle-distances on her dam's side but, if the market speaks in her favour, might be worth having a look at. King Maximus cost $125,000. Persian Dagger is by Daylami and related to winners. Residential is by Zilzal out of a Zafonic mare, Roger Charlton is represented by Song Of Vala and Verasi, while Mick Channon runs Tiz Molly and Gerard Butler the nicely-bred Land Of Nod. The market will possibly provide a good guide to the chances of a number of these but the Arnie of this particular election is Rave Reviews.
