Verdict

Richard Hughes makes the long trip north, principally to ride Lion Hunter for Barry Hills and while the Quest For Fame colt, will be hard to beat, he will not have things all his own way. Almost Twilight, took a while to grasp what was required on her debut and will have learnt plenty from that, but the main threat could come from Tasneef, who comes from the same family as 1000 guineas heroine Harayir.
