In depth

Verdict

Brotherly Company made a promising start at Redcar back in November and steps up in trip while Regards also attempts a longer distance on the back of a placed effort over 7f at Lingfield. The latter is preferred to another Godolphin runner in Emirates Airline and Ruler Of The Nile could only manage third went sent off favourite for his debut. Sarhaan is a debutant to note but fellow newcomer GAYATH is a half-brother to six winners and the 150,000gns purchase may prove good enough to make a winning start.
