Edgar Linton was a £55,000 yearling and is a half-brother to a winning miler. Machito is a half-brother to three winners, mostly sprinters, so has to go on the shortlist. Villemacho and Jim’s Cracker represents powerful northern yards so are worth a market check but Newmarket raider BRAVE NATION gets a tentative vote as his dam was speedy and has already produced two winners over 5f.
