Verdict
Placed in both starts to date, DICK TRACY should go close again. Third behind a horse rated 83 and a subsequent winner at Goodwood last time, that form looks stronger than Century Dream’s placed effort at Newmarket. Crowned Eagle was just ahead of Pincheck when third in a maiden race at Haydock and both should have come on for the experience with Ajman King another expected to finish a lot closer after a modest start on soft ground at Salisbury. Scoones is a half-brother to five winners including the high-class Seal Of Approval and preferred to Just In Time and Music Seeker of the newcomers.
