In depth

Verdict

FARAASAH was narrowly beaten over today’s trip at Newmarket on his debut and Brian Meehan’s colt can open his account in this. Prince Ahwahnee also went close on his opening run but disappointed at Windsor last time though he’s still preferred to both Fighting Irish and Rebel Streak. Of the newcomers, Prestbury Park is out of a Grade 1 winner in the USA while Mister Maestro is a half-brother to the useful George William and also worth noting.
