In depth
Verdict
Mardoofcost 76,000 gns, is closely related to several winners and was just touched off on his debut. From a stable in form. Lieutenant Dunbar may prove cheap at 14,000 gns, as he is a half brother to two winners and reported to be going well at home. Richard Hannon's juvenile must always be respected and Magic Piper will have learnt a lot from his debut at Newmarket and is from a fast family. Ronnie From Donny is well exposed in minor events but Tangled Up In Blue is worth a second look he lost plenty of ground at the start when fifth of six runners on his racecourse bow but still showed promise. Swiss Pipe comes from a stable which specialises in juveniles and was sent off favourite on his debut at Nottingham but could finish only a disappointing fourth.
