In depth
Verdict
REGARDS is related to smart all-weather winner True To Form among others and the Godolphin colt may be good enough on his racecourse debut. Tarleton is a brother to Gimcrack winner Conquest and is another newcomer to note along with Sir Keating, a half-brother to Listed winner Indignant. Sciustree showed a slight improvement when third over track and trip last time and may prove best of those with experience ahead of Ainslie.
