In depth

Verdict

Good Craic was only beaten a neck in a mile maiden at Sandown in August and though beaten a long way at Jebel Ali last month should have come on for the experience. Tadween became disappointing for Richard Hannon, though his two best runs were on all-weather surfaces. Russian Miner missed the break and never got going on his debut here a month ago and better is expected while Paleolithic showed early promise on soft ground in France and would be a threat if handling the surface. The former Godolphin-trained LOURES had his first run for Maria Ritchie last month and led for most of the way over 7f. With normal improvement, he'll take some catching and he gets the vote.
