In depth
Verdict
Yuan Prince has a very speedy pedigree and any market moves should be noted. Saeiqa is by first-season sire and top-class juvenile Shalaa out of a 6f winner so is an obvious one to note though Godolphin can take the second division with CREATIVE FORCE, who cost E400,000 and is a half-brother to five winners including QEII winner Persuasive. Dark Lion's dam produced a mile winner with her first foal while Northbound's dam is a 5f two-year-old winner from a very speedy family.
