Alhambra Palace, Book Of Tales and Laser Guided are all likely improvers for powerful stables but the latter finished behind one from James Ferguson’s yard on his debut and that trainer runs ROARING LEGEND. A half-brother to a Listed winner on the all-weather at Deauville, he gets the nod. Imperial Ace is a brother to a winner and a half-brother to the useful Dylan Mouth while Cosmic Soul and El Jasor are other newcomers to note.
