The experience of an opening second at Doncaster won't be lost on Barracuda Boy and today's extra furlong is certain to suit. He shouldn't be far away but this is a race littered with nicely-bred juveniles and Mark Johnston's WINDHOEK is taken to make a winning debut. He cost 110,000gns and is by Cape Cross out of a mare that was placed in Listed company as a two-year-old. Euxton Hall is a half-brother to winners in Germany and Sweden while Annunciation's dam was a speedy juvenile. Sir Mark Prescott's charges usually improve with experience, however, and the Oasis Dream colt Oasis Cannes is probably best watched today.
