Verdict
Dawn Treader had to wait for a gap to appear at Sandown last time. He stayed on well in the closing stages as did Migration, who finished further back. John Gosden trained the winner of that race and is represented here by Murray River, placed at Yarmouth after a fair debut at Ascot. Wise Ruler was slowly away at Goodwood in August and should be capable of better while the Scat Daddy colt King Ademar is an interesting newcomer having changed hands for €320,000 earlier this year. PURDEY’S GIFT attracted market support making his debut in a novice stakes at Leicester but was far too green to do himself justice. That run will have taught him plenty and he should be prominent today, even though he’ll be better over middle-distances next season.
