Verdict
CROSSFORD has gone the closest of those with racecourse experience having made up late ground to take third at Doncaster on his debut. Beijing Billy also showed some ability at Sandown last week and is preferred to both Roscioli and Rainbow Fire. Quintillus stands out among the newcomers as the Godolphin colt is a half-brother to no less than seven winners including the French Group 1 winner Ultra while Wahraan is related to a Listed winner and Military Man and Zhang Fei are others to note.
