In depth
Verdict
Wheat Sheaf finished well ahead of Raw Impulse when fourth at Newbury and this longer trip will suit. The last comment also applies to BARREESH as he steps up in distance after a debut fourth at Newmarket and gets the speculative vote in what could turn out to be a decent maiden. Frankie prefers the latter to Makzon but Bollihope and Baadi are expected to improve representing powerful yards. The 300,000gns purchase Monotype and James Fanshawe's Sea The Stars colt Star Storm are both newcomers to note for the future.
