Kyeema hasn’t looked entirely straightforward so far but has still shown a decent level of ability and will be fancied take advantage of this considerable drop in grade to make it third-time lucky, though there are a few expensive purchases among the newcomers. TANGO MAN, a half-brother to several winners including the useful Agent Murphy and Global Heat, looks the pick of the latter group on paper having changed hands for £496,000 earlier this year. Think First was a 75,000gns yearling and Kittykarma cost €85,000. Tellus, another filly, will be the pick of John Quinn’s pair judged on jockey bookings. Newcastle runner-up Bowland Prince looks best of the rest.
