In depth
Verdict
Dog Of War was a €60,000 yearling who was sold for €95,000 as a three-year-old but he didn’t show much on his belated racecourse debut at Kempton, though should know more today. All About You was a shade keen at Carlisle and didn’t get home but the form of that race hasn’t worked out. GENERATOR CITY has won a point-to-point and can put that experience to good use today with Biblical, half-brother to a winning miler, and Old Jeroboam, the most interesting of the newcomers.
