Final Decision was sent to Doncaster for his debut where he ran well for a long way before weakening. ANKUD is bred for the Flat being related to several winners and can make a winning start providing the ground doesn't turn too testing. Sattam is by Sea The Stars out of a mare who produced a winner with her first offspring while Boots And Jeans is another with plenty of Flat speed in his pedigree. Cappucino has a more conventional jumping pedigree and will probably need further, a remark that also applies to D Art D Art, who has Patrick Mullins on board.
