        In depth

        Verdict

        Alkhat and Colonize represent the Gosden yard with preference for the former but AL QAQAA may prove good enough. The latter was no match for subsequent Futurity fifth Kinross at Newmarket on his debut but a couple of winners have come out of the race and the Haggas colt looks likely to improve. You Owe Me is a half-brother to a Group 3 winner and preferred to stablemate Provocation while Good Try makes most appeal of her yard’s two runners and Been Bobbied is another newcomer to note.
