DOURADO finished last of four in a Newmarket conditions race last time but that is still the best form on offer and Richard Hannon’s colt drops in class for this. The remainder with racecourse experience have yet to show any worthwhile form but both of the newcomers are worth noting. Sassoferrato cost 35,000gns but Ettihadi may prove a shrewder investment as the 30,000gns purchase is a half-brother to four winners including Group 2 winner Exosphere.
