Verdict

A disappointing turnout but a race of interest nonetheless. Close Chesham Stakes fourth Prince Nureyev sets the benchmark and will go off as favourite. David Elsworth's 75,000gns yearling, Foodbroker Founder, ought to win races in time, and the same can be said of Californian, who is nicely bred being by Zafonic out of a well-related Rainbow Quest mare.
