The Coolmore-owned OPERATING is the least exposed having beaten an odds-on favourite when winning a maiden race at Windsor. There should be plenty more to come from the Gosdens’ colt now handicapping. Fast Medicine failed to beat a rival in a heritage handicap at Newmarket having scored over track and trip before that while Larado ran below par at Epsom last time but went close in a tough handicap at Salisbury earlier. Value Theory is the most favourably treated of the remainder as she drops back down in distance.
