In depth
Verdict
Snash failed to get involved at Newmarket on his debut though should know more today and finish closer. But several of the newcomers look worthy of a second glance including Archibar, a full-brother to a winning two-year-old among others. Funky Bear is related to the decent sprinter Graphite Storm but the filly HOLWAH is a half-sister to four winners including Rockingham winner Mushir and Owen Burrows’ charge gets a speculative vote.
