In depth
Verdict
Embour dead-heated for first at Newcastle last week having earlier finished behind HELLO ZABEEL when the latter scored at Southwell. Charlie Fellowes’ charge was having only his second outing on the all-weather and there should be more to come. Sovereign Slipper also finished behind the selection though that was his first start of the year having notched-up a hat-trick at the end of last season while Alcazan has a shout back on the all-weather. Lihou drops down in class and may finish closer as a consequence.
