Verdict
A number of these are likely to have taken a big step forward from their debuts. MIDDAY MARTINI, who attracted market support at Sandown, is one and York fourth Poppy Carrew is another. There are also some interesting newcomers taking part in this including Royal Charter, who changed hands for €240,000 earlier his year, and Deep Thoughts. The latter is a half-sister to four winners, including Godolphin’s Perseus Way who won on debut last year, but she may need a bit further. Little Hug is by Invincible Spirit, however, so shouldn’t be short of speed.
