In depth
Verdict
ZIGGY’S PHOENIX missed the break and ran green on debut at Kempton but was still only beaten a length and she’ll be more the finished article here. Kandy House was a €48,000 yearling but is bred for a bit further. Desert Master is speedily-bred, however, and the Newmarket raider looks a threat while Stage Door could be one to note for future reference.
