Vanderbilt is rated 83 but still returned a losing favourite in a maiden at Brighton. Nostalgie is edging closer and was placed at Newmarket last month while VOLATILE was beaten four lengths on his debut at the same meeting at HQ but in a higher grade maiden. James Tate’s charge gets a speculative vote with Rosemay and Habbad others to note. Al Yarmouk stands out among the newcomers given his connections and the fact he is a half-brother to five winners.
