Verdict
Zain Flash started favourite on his debut at Leicester and was always in the front rank but had no answer to Kick On Kick On. The third has been well beaten subsequently and David Evans' has been out of form. That latter remark certainly doesn't apply to Richard Fahey, whose PANOPHOBIA is very speedily bred being a half-brother to 5f two-year-old winner Prince Of Cool. He can make a successful debut though Macho Guest cost 72,000gns and Raydiance has plenty of pace in his pedigree. Master Grey was an expensive purchase but is likely to need further in time while Global Exceed never got into contention at Brighton after missing the break and Green Power was well beaten here last month.
