Verdict
LORD CLYDE has yet to race on fast ground but has shown enough in a couple of starts to suggest he can win at this level. His latest second at Catterick looks stronger form than the debut efforts of Anjaal and Tamayuz Dream and Richard Fahey's colt can open his account. Centre Haafhd is the first foal of a 7f winner while The Dukkerer is out of a prolific mare but could have been better drawn. Sukari Gold is a sister to a winning sprinter and could prove best of the newcomers.
