NORTH AMERICA found stablemate and odds-on shot Arabian Oasis too good on his reappearance at Wolverhampton but was six lengths ahead of the rest. Charlie Appleby's colt may just have the edge on the other contenders with that run under his belt. Wonder Laish is in the Dante and Derby and steps up in distance for his comeback. He found the mile trip at Windsor too short on his debut while Shalabina is another who will appreciate the extra test of stamina having run well on her introduction at Doncaster back in August. West Sussex and Just Ching made little impression on their respective debuts and may need more time.
