Verdict
The two with experience make no appeal given Isobar Wind was still beaten a long way when third at Nottingham. Of the newcomers, KUWAIT DIRECTION is a brother to a winner and a half-brother to smart two-year-old winner Tangled and Richard Hannon’s colt may prove good enough to make a winning start. Top Buck has a host of entries in valuable sales races while Emten is a half-sister to prolific winning sprinter Something Lucky. Imperial Command is a rare runner on the Flat for Jonjo O’Neill’s yard with Silvestre De Sousa on board while I'm Digby is related to winners over further.
