      Verdict

      Sir Michael Stoute trains two of the newcomers in this. Georgian Manor cost 115,000gns but Gabr was the more expensive purchase, though his owner’s first colours are understandably worn by WARSAAN. Dane O’Neill also prefers Owen Burrows’ Oasis Dream colt, who made a satisfactory debut when second at Newbury. Sunbreak and Gossip Column have also shown some ability while Crossing The Line is a half-sister to two winners and, being by Cape Cross, should handle the give in the ground.
