Verdict
The market has proved a fair guide in recent years and should do so again. Godolphin have won three of the last four and with Charlie Appleby having made a tremendous start to his training career STATE LAW may be good enough. Almuheet and Snow Sky represent Sir Michael Stoute and both should have enough pace to make their presence felt though they will stay further in time. Sebastian Beach is from the first crop of Yeats so he's another who could need more time but Red Galileo cost 41,000gns as a yearling and 180,000gns as a two-year-old so someone must have seen some potential.
