Verdict

Out of a dam that has already produced three winners, FOLK TALE is another Dubawi colt and can complete a quick double for Charlie Appleby and William Buick having missed the break when fourth on debut at Goodwood. Dichato was too green to do himself justice at Haydock and may need more time but Tangled improved on a modest first run at Ascot when second at Chelmsford and Encrypted has a nice pedigree.
