In depth

Verdict

Bravo Faisal finished behind a Charlie Appleby runner-up when third at Haydock and the latter should have a good line on the form. He runs a couple in this with FULL VERSE preferred to the newcomer Saqqara King having placed in a tougher contest at Ascot when five lengths clear of the rest. Entered in a Group 2 in Ireland later in the month, the Godolphin colt is fancied to go very close. Kuwait Direction will need to step up on April’s debut effort at Windsor but Raahy is related to winners and is another newcomer to note.
