Rated 92 having gone close in both a valuable sales race at Doncaster and the Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar last time, MAZYOUN is hard to oppose. He has little to fear from either Red Douglas or Enlighten Me on what little they have shown so far. The newcomers will need to be above average to make a winning start but Lily Fontana and Holmeswood look nothing special on breeding and the selection will likely start a short price for this.
