In depth

Verdict

The market is often the best guide to these early-season juvenile contests but it's interesting to see Gay Kelleway has booked champion Paul Hanagan for her Balmont filly WAYBULOO, who is a half-sister to three winning sprinters and from the same family as Queen Mary winner On Tiptoes. Bill Turner usually has his two-year-olds well forward so Dougie Boy is another to consider along with Jack Who's He, who is by the speedy Red Clubs and will probably also know what's required on his racecourse debut.
