In depth

Verdict

Rated 87, WEMBLEY should be opening his account in this company. Caught close home at Galway last time, Aidan O’Brien’s colt looks to have the measure of Sword Zorro. The latter has placed in both starts so far though never threatened the winner when runner-up at Leopardstown ahead of third-placed Fight Zone. Vocito is fitted with headgear on the back of a moderate debut at Gowran but the rest are harder to recommend.
