In depth

Verdict

CLOUD DRIFT’s second at Beverley is the stand-out form in this and Michael Bell’s Toronado colt should make it third-time lucky, even if he possibly lacks the scope of others. Sunshine Fantasy is surely better than she showed at Newcastle but newcomer Merryweather may be more of a threat being only the second foal of a winning miler on the all-weather.
