Several powerful Newmarket yards are represented in this. Embesto is a half-brother to the useful Silent Film but SERENGETI SUNSET (NAP) is also by Roaring Lion and he is a half-brother to five winners. Too green to do himself justice in his first season, he should be more the finished article now. Star Ahoy is a likely improver while Umberto has twice gone close on Polytrack. Tajdif has been gelded since a fourth at Newcastle in February and wears headgear today while Covert Legend wasn’t beaten far at Kempton last month. Story Horse looks the pick of Bill Knight’s two newcomers.
