Verdict
The Paco Kid was returned a losing favourite in better company at Ascot last time but has a shout on his earlier fourth at Newbury. He makes most appeal of those with experience, though both Groor and My Mate are expected to improve from recent debuts. Synodic is out of a prolific mare and Red Rubles is related to a couple of winners. Tupi is another newcomer to keep an eye on, but MOONADEE is a brother to a Listed winner and Charlie Hills' 110,000 euros purchase may well be good enough to score at the first time of asking.
