In depth
Verdict
Oxford Thinking never threatened when fourth at Wolverhampton on his racecourse debut and John Gosden also runs the newcomer Poetique. Avantgardist is getting no closer after three starts and was only fifth last time while My Brother Mike ran into trouble when well beaten on his debut. But Roger Varian is still sending out the winners and ODEN may prove good enough as he's a half-brother to a couple of winners with Ignacio Zuloaga another newcomer to note given he’s out of a prolific mare.
