Verdict

Innvincible Friend has experience on his side having finished second on soft ground at Ripon and Chester. He finished ahead of The Camden Colt on the latter occasion but the Hannon colt was making his debut that day. Bjorn Ironside, a 300,000gns half-brother to a winning sprinter, is a first two-year-old runner of the season for the Gosdens and Thunder Blue changed hands for £180,000 earlier this year and hails from a yard which is doing well with its juveniles. Daring Legend was another expensive purchase and is sprint bred, as is Only In Jakarta who was a 310,000gns yearling. We’ll take a chance on SHAGRAAN, whose dam won over 7f as a two-year-old. His stable is beginning to motor after a slow start.
