In depth

Verdict

Sound of Fleet and Wood Ditton-sixth Grand But One arguably have the best form of those to have raced previously but the newcomers would not need to be out of the ordinary to win first time up and a chance is taken with Madid. John Gosden's colt makes plenty of appeal on pedigree being a son of Cape Cross and three-parts brother to 7f Listed winner Desert Alchemy. The stable's horses are in good form at present so he looks worth a small investment. Marcus Tregoning's Storm Cat colt Aljaareh would probably prefer a faster surface, while Mick Channon's Shaaban is likely to need further. Paul Cole's Sound Of Fleet drops back in trip having failed to stay 1m2f at Windsor behind Crystal last time and warrants respect along with Grand But One, although the Wood Ditton form has taken a few knocks recently. The likes of John Gosden's Want and the William Haggas-trained Secret Flame, who are both open to improvement, warrant respect but we are happy to side with Madid on his debut.
