WAY OF WISDOM made a winning start at Newmarket a fortnight ago with De Bruyne Horse well beaten. Charlie Appleby’s colt is likely to start a short price to defy a penalty. Jockey bookings suggest Lever Du Soleil is preferred to stablemate Ventura Crest while Musbaq is worth noting on his debut if supported in the betting but Weellan is a half-brother to a winner and makes most appeal of the newcomers.
