SUMMIT REACH is the safe choice having found only the favourite too good at Wolverhampton on last month’s debut. That’s the strongest form on offer though several of the newcomers represent powerful yards including the Gosden duo Halfwaytothemoon and Kuramata. The former cost 500,000gns as a half-sister to a Listed winner while Khatm and Eastern World wear the Godolphin colours for different trainers with the latter preferred as a half-brother to the high-class Thunder Snow among others. Punctuation’s dam is related to Group 1 winner Kalanisi and Prince Of Eagles is a half-brother to winners on the all-weather.
