In depth
Verdict
Identified is a Showcasing colt out of a mare who produced a two-year-old all-weather winner with her first offspring. Mr Ryder is by first-season sire Pearl Secret and a half-brother to four winners so should have plenty of pace. SELECTED is a half-brother to three two-year-old winners including the smart pair Roussel and Talk Or Listen so has to be respected in this newcomers' race. Fossos is by Dandy Man out of a mare who has produced four winners while Stitcher is also very speedily-bred.
