In depth

Verdict

The well-related Convex is on an upward curve but nurseries usually tell us much more when looking back on them. Tiber Tiger has paid the price for a couple of wins, rising 19lbs in the ratings. Magic Red is improving and could do so again stepping up in trip. Swift Tango cost 105,000gns and ran on the AW last time, but that race was won by very good Goodwood winner Elusive City and Pat Eddery has been booked. Jennie Macdougall won well on her debut but then had her colours lowered at Windsor. She may yet be capable of better. Lady Le Mans is blinkered fir the first time but ought not to be quite good enough to win here.
