Verdict
All of these encounter testing ground for the first time but AMBASSADOR finished closer at Ayr last month and Richard Fahey’s colt gets a speculative vote with any further progress. Station To Station drops in class and is preferred to Anno Lucis of the remainder with experience. The Frankel colt Bobby The Great is related to no less than nine winners and makes more appeal than Grey Eminence and Eevilynn of the newcomers.
