In depth

Verdict

There is little to go on in this other than those with experience have yet to threaten. But SACRED WARNER at least showed major improvement at Kempton last month and a subsequent winner has come out of the race. Oasis Prince is another likely to improve but Saikung finished closer on her earlier debut than she did at Chelmsford last time. Hat Yai is related to a couple of winners and represents an in-form yard while Noble Prospector is a brother to a winner and a half-brother to several others. San Sebastian hails from a family that includes Group 3 winners and is another newcomer to note.
