Verdict
Rawaafed separated a couple of subsequent winners when third at Doncaster in September and Brian Meehan can get them ready. He's preferred to another making his seasonal debut in Anomaly, who was placed in both starts last year and makes more appeal than stablemate Layali Dubai. However, entries in the Derby and the Irish 2000 Guineas suggest newcomer CONTINUUM is held in high regard and, even if he doesn't prove good enough to take up those engagements, he could be up to landing this on his debut as he's related to top-class trio Passage Of Time, Father Time and Timepiece. Zanotti, Reigns Of Glory and Suegioo are other newcomers to keep an eye on while Luca Cumani has won the last two renewals so improvement is expected from Paramythi.
