In depth
Verdict
As none of those with experience look world-beaters, it will be worth watching the newcomers for any market support. Archie Watson’s Lady Danger is one possibility and Blowing Wind is a half-brother to speedy Listed winner Punita Arora. Fast Emma was very green at Chepstow and didn’t grasp the nettle until it was far too late. She will know more today but that comment also applies to Newmarket fourth ATASER so he gets the nod despite the claims of Beverley runner-up Ready Freddie Go.
