Verdict
TAFREEJ made great strides from his debut when a close third at Newbury where he didn't get the run of the race. Normal progress should see him get off the mark though Miqdaad is a half-brother to two 7f winners and his yard continues to fire in the winners. Poseidon Prince has a speedy pedigree and will improve for his run at Nottingham as will Dear Daphne for her Doncaster debut.
