In depth

Verdict

Heirloom cost 480,000gns as a yearling and has a superb middle-distance pedigree while fellow Ballydoyle newcomer Paradise City has a little more pace in his breeding though neither holds any fancy juvenile entries. Fighter Squadron may prove best of the newcomers as he's out of a mare who won a Grade 2 as a juvenile in the USA. MAJESTIC JASMINE caught the eye in no uncertain terms on her debut over 7f here a month ago, staying on really nicely once the penny had dropped. She'll be much more forward this time and is handed the vote though the more experienced pair Abbey Vale and Caged Lightning should be winning soon, probably in nurseries.
