In depth
Verdict
Nehou took a step forward when fourth at Fontainebleau in March but the grey lacks the scope of KATAFONIC (NAP). By Ifraaj out of a winning miler, Carlos Laffon-Parias’ colt was very green at Deauville in February but will know more today. The Olympic Glory newcomer Ernan Cortes is probably worth a market check but it’s difficult to make a case for many of the others.
