In depth

Verdict

MERITORIOUS was given a rest after a poor debut effort and ran a much better race at Newmarket last time when runner-up ahead of a subsequent winner. The Gosden colt is taken to go one better, though Trevolli ran well for fourth at Salisbury and steps up in trip along with Cape Horn. Of the newcomers, Manassas and Movin Time share ownership with the former costing a million guineas as a half-brother to five winners including the high-class pair Without Parole and Tamarkuz. Rebel's Romance and Tio Mio are others to note.
