In depth

Verdict

TO WAFIJ made a winning start at Yarmouth just 10 days ago but he returned a comfortable winner and it could pay to stick with Roger Varian’s colt, despite his penalty ,rather than guess at the ability of the newcomers. Of those, the £150,000 purchase Tadbir is related to a winner and preferred to One Minute, Elysium Dream and the speedily-bred Erastus.
