In depth

Verdict

Persian Royal found only one too good at Ffos Las on his debut and Golden Mac posted an improved effort when fourth at over track and trip. Both are preferred to Allen Key, who failed to show any progress at Ripon last time, but HOT SPELL makes most appeal. She was doing her best work in the closing stages when just failing to catch the winner over 6f here and this extra distance can see Hugo Palmer’s filly off the mark. Easy With Aces is a full-brother to a Group 3 winner while Everyday is related to a host of winners and is another newcomer to note.
