In depth

Verdict

Richard Newland should find a race for Murtys Delight this winter and he's worth a market check on his reappearance. Watt Broderick won at Stratford and Wetherby in March but Strongly Suggested has become disappointing and Wester Ross has also been expensive to follow. Descaro is only a plater but Iguacu has been holding his own in better company, though over further than this. POWERFUL ACTION's third at Chepstow was a major step forward and he was well backed that day. He may be capable of better and can recoup losses.
