In depth
Verdict
Yalla Habibi is fitted with a tongue-tie on the back of a second at Stratford while Another Fine Mess placed at Newbury on his debut and both are preferred to Mr Monopoly. But IT’S A BREEZE cost 120,000 euros as a half-brother to the smart Impervious and may prove good enough on his debut. In The Shade and Noahsgreatrainbow are other newcomers to note.
