In depth

Verdict

Family One, runner-up to the outstanding Dabirsim in the Prix Morny, had Frederick Engels around three lengths behind that day so the form looks very useful. The latter is a good yardstick as he finished a couple of lengths behind Lilbourne Lad and Reply in the Phoenix Stakes and neither of that pair could handle CASPAR NETSCHER in the Nunthorpe. Alan McCabe's youngster probably didn't need to match that level of form in the Mill Reef at Newbury subsequently but confirmed his quality and is thriving with racing. Bapak Chinta would have been a strong fancy at York but had a slight setback. His debut victory over Frederick Engels and Norfolk Stakes success over Boomerang Bob stamped him as one to follow and today's extra furlong looks just what he requires so he's a big threat.
