The Haggas yard won both divisions of this last year and Nine Tenths cost a whopping 300,000gns as a sister to a winner in Spain. But FERROUS gave the impression this longer trip would suit when placed in testing going over 5f at Windsor on his debut so gets the vote. Tasever posted a better effort on the soft at Redcar recently while Diamond Dreamer may prove best of the others with experience.
