Verdict
Production made a winning start over 6f but was well beaten under a penalty over today’s trip at Ascot last time. Frankadore returned a disappointing favourite at Newbury though this faster ground may suit better while Highwaygrey looks best of the rest with racecourse experience. But this doesn’t look too hard a task for a newcomer and Regular is a brother to winner while Jimmy Greenhough is related to five winners. But 210,000gns purchase FOX SHINJI is out of a well-related dam and Andrew Balding’s colt gets a speculative vote to open his account at the first time of asking.
