In depth

Verdict

All of these newcomers are related to winners but Buratino's relatives scored over a mile or further and preference is for YOUNG JOHN. The Fahey colt is a brother to three winners including Cake, who won a 5f Listed race, and may be up to landing this at the first time of asking. Lil's Joy is a half-sister to a Group 3 winner and could also get involved while Blue Smoke represents a yard that traditionally has its two-year-old runners well forward and she makes more appeal than Yeah Baby Yeah.
