In depth

Verdict

FLAMMARION cost Godolphin a whopping €460,000 as a yearling but he never saw the track and was sold to David O’Meara for a lot less. A half-brother to the smart Listed stayer Fun Mac, he may prove the one to side with of these newcomers. Akentrick and Royal Rank are also related to winners on the Flat while Thunder In Milan is out of a sister to Grand National hero Ballabriggs and preferred to Deep Charm
