In depth
Verdict
BON VOYAGE has yet to replicate last season's third in a valuable sales race at Newmarket. But he posted a much better effort last time and a mark of 84 is usually good enough at this level. Late Night Mark is not far behind the selection at the weights and is not out of this either on his latest second at Windsor while Principle Equation can also get involved on the back of last month's promising debut. Vilaz is a half-brother to the useful Ballesteros and may prove best of the newcomers ahead of stablemate Agent Murphy.
