Verdict

EKTIBAAS has more scope than most of these and made a very pleasing start in a maiden at Newmarket in August. He's related to numerous winners and looks the type to go on to better things. Prime Mover is another who should make progress and he looked in need of the experience on his debut at Lingfield last month. That will have done him the world of good and he looks a live threat. Flodden was well supported for a strong Goodwood maiden in October but was unhappy on the soft ground and is much better than that. Red Copper was just touched off by Protractor in a four-horse race at Lingfield and makes his debut on turf as does Striking The Wind, whose two runs to date have been on Fibresand at Southwell.
