      In depth

      Verdict

      Saeed bin Suroor had three entered at the four-day stage but relies on Royal Marine, who is surely better than he showed at Newmarket when failing to land a blow. John Gosden runs Buffalo River, only headed close home at Sandown on debut, and Turgenev. The latter is the first foal to race of a Group 2 winner in France but he may do better over further in time. POLITICISE is a half-brother to five winners, including top sprinter King’s Apostle, and may have more speed than Frankie’s mount at this stage of their respective careers. Monsieur Noir is definitely worth noting for future reference.
