In depth

Verdict

The market will be the best guide to this field of newcomers but TOUTATIS looks interesting given he has a Dirt pedigree so should be at home on Polytrack. Come Dancing has a more conventional background and is a half-brother to a winning hurdler while the mare Our House is a half-brother to two winning jumpers. Presenting Pete and Muy Bien represents powerful yards and Philip Hobbs runs two with Chalgrove the choice of Richard Johnson.
