In depth
Verdict
This looks one for the market watchers as Ragged Wood, who showed little in three starts between the flags, could only stay on at one pace when headed after attempting to make all at Perth on his bumper debut. Ifandabut is bred to be a chaser but RHAEGAR, who cost 110,000 euros, is a half-brother to a winning bumper so should have enough pace for this. The latter's stable companion El Presente looks a staying type.
