        Verdict

        MORDRED was placed in a couple of novice races before struggling in the Group 2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood. He’s preferred to Arabian King of those with racecourse experience and a mark of 91 sets a high standard for the newcomers to aim at. Of those, Sangarius is entered in the Dewhurst and Bangkok is a 500,000gns purchase with an early entry in the Derby. Rayig is partnered by Andrea Atzeni and preferred to stablemate Prefontaine but Akwaan is overlooked by Dane O’Neill in favour of Maqaadeer.
