Most of those from the bigger stables, including Haseen, Highwater Express and Captain Obvious, are bred as though they could already do with another furlong so this can go to QATAR'S PEARL. Ger Lyons' colt is an expensive half-brother to five winners and should have the pace for this. Another costly youngster, Strait Of Zanzibar, is also bred for speed and hails from the family of the outstanding Mrs Penny.
