In depth
Verdict
The very expensive Dalton attempted to make all on ground with some give at Ayr but gave best at the furlong pole and was then impeded. He's likely to take some catching and looks easily the best of those with experience. Jacquard is a half-brother to four winners and out of a 6f winner so he's one to note though a chance is taken with SCOTCH MYST. Richard Fahey's newcomer is from the first crop of the brilliant Australian sprinter Sepoy, the winner of four Group 1's, and out of a mare who won over today's trip. Dream Team has a very speedy pedigree and is one to keep an eye on in the market.
