In depth
Verdict
Runner-up on his earlier debut, CHIEF JUSTICE gave Paul Hanagan a torrid time at York when unseating at the start. That was in the Group 2 Acomb Stakes so he should be good enough at this level if temperament doesn’t get the better of him. Rastacap finished a promising fourth at Ripon on his debut and Saisons D'or showed some progress when finishing a lot closer at Thirsk last time. Sarookh is a half-brother to a winner on the all-weather, Royal Pursuit is related to a host of winners and Farhh Away is another newcomer to note.
