DUBLIN PHARAOH returned a losing favourite when only third at Newcastle but still finished in front of a subsequent dual winner. Roger Varian’s colt can open his account in this.

Win Win Power cost 200,000gns as a half-brother to a four winners, including the smart Nargys, and is preferred to King Of The South of the newcomers.
