FUNDAMENTAL didn’t find top gear until the closing stages at Yarmouth but still finished third and John Gosden’s grey can go close with normal progress. Champagne Piaff debuted in an Ascot maiden and will likely be in the mix representing last year’s winning yard while Escape is a half-brother to four winners and Moment Critique is related to a two-year-old winner. Dream A Little and Pensada are other newcomers to keep an eye on.
