In depth
Verdict
Some well connected newcomers are entered here but on this occasion experience may count and HOARDING looks the one to be on. John Gosden's colt made a decent start behind Luhaif here last month where he ran very green and with progress guaranteed he can see off the attentions of Glory City, who was just behind and also looked in need of the experience. Quintilian finished further behind and looks held but Hands Of Time showed good speed for a long way before fading over this trip at Newbury and will have come on for the run. Shooting Jacket didn't make much of an impression on his debut but should do better while Winslow Arizona may do best of the first-timers as his dam has produced winners in the USA.
