        In depth

        Verdict

        YIBIR showed major improvement at Newmarket last time when fifth behind subsequent Vintage Stakes third Youth Spirit. He should go close on that form with his yard firing-in the winners. The remainder with experience make less appeal on what they’ve shown so far but several of the newcomers are worth noting including Top Brass. The latter is the first foal of a Group 3 winner representing the Gosden yard while King Vega cost 350,000gns as a full-brother to a winner in North America and both are preferred to Power Station, a recent £65,000 acquisition at the sales in Ireland.
