In depth
Verdict
Jive Talking comes out the better of X Rated on these terms. The former was runner-up over a longer trip at Brighton recently and the latter came up short sent over to Dundalk earlier this month. The Frankel colt Khattar could improve debuting on the all-weather while Speedo Boy and Nargiza are others likely to finish closer. But 210,000gns newcomer OXFORD THINKING (NAP) is a half-brother to Listed winner The Black Princess and the Gosden colt gets the vote to emulate his stablemate by making a winning debut.
