Verdict
IFTAAR was beaten three lengths at Newbury on his debut and drops back in trip. Charlie Hills' colt looks to have an easier task here and gets the vote. Legend Rising was a well beaten runner-up at Doncaster and also drops back to the minimum trip while Lord Clyde made the frame at the same track last time after showing good early pace. Meaning Of Life is the first foal of a winning sprinter but the 160,000 dollars filly Race Hunter is related to winners in America and could prove best of the newcomers.
