In depth
Verdict
RANCHERO (NAP) finished runner-up at Kempton on his debut behind the unbeaten Ransom. The latter is rated 88 so the form looks solid enough and he gets the vote. Great King returns to action with a shout on last year’s second at Redcar having had a wind operation since and is preferred to Global Walk while Dane O’Neill prefers the chances of Motawaajed to fellow newcomer Rasheed. Prince Of Pearls cost a whopping 550,000gns as the first foal of a well-related dam and Badlands is another to note.
