In depth

Verdict

None of these inspire much confidence that they’ll go on to better things but MOTHER OF DRAGONS, the first foal of a 6f winner, was only beaten half-a-length in a similar race on her debut at Windsor so is taken to go one better. May Remain hasn’t been beaten far in either start and shouldn’t be far away again. Devil Or Angel showed early speed at Salisbury and should have learned from the experience so may prove the pick of the remainder ahead of newcomer Alaskan Star.
