In depth
Verdict
EL BUFALO made a promising debut when runner-up at Newcastle and can go close with normal progress. That’s much stronger form than the others with racecourse experience so the newcomers may prove bigger threats. Golden Berenice is a sister to a Listed sprinter in Italy and is preferred to stablemate Tantomile and Blazes Boylan but Collusion is the first foal of a Listed winner and is another to consider.
