Verdict
IRREGULAR WARFARE found only the subsequent Group 3 winner Knight too good at Yarmouth on his debut. Roger Varian’s colt will likely be a warm order to open his account in this. Back See Daa never threatened when fourth at Ascot though may well improve past the likes of Ben Dikduk and Apex, who both showed a modicum of progress last time. Dancing is preferred to Zafaan and Supaspecialawesome of the newcomers.
