Verdict

Not much to go on but every likelihood that this will be won by a decent type. Heir To The Throne was seen staying on over a mile at Newmarket earlier in the month and there is every likelihood that this trip will represent no problems at all for this expensively purchased Amanda Perrett inmate. Helensburgh ran a complete shocker at Hamilton. There was no official explanation at the time but it did coincide with a slight dip in fortunes of the stable. Majestic Vision is a Desert King colt trained by Peter Harris. The market should give plenty of clues as to how forward he is in his work. As a son of Silver Patriarch - the trip should be of little worry to supporters of Penny Stall. Pat Eddery certainly knows the sire so lets hope that the ability has passed to his progeny. Red Rag rarely runs a bad race but looks vulnerable to any improvers in the field. We believe that Heir To The Throne has a progressive enough profile to justify selection in this maiden contest.
