Verdict
Fox Fearless made a decent start when placed at Newmarket but ran nowhere near the same level when favourite at the same track last time. Thorn and Temujin have yet to figure so this can go to a newcomer. Of those, FENJAL can count Listed winners among a host of winning relatives and Hugo Palmer’s colt gets a speculative vote. He’s preferred to George Junior and Sea Sculpture but the latter’s stablemate Good Birthday cost a whopping 500,000 euros as a brother to a winner France and is another to keep an eye on.
