DRAGON LEADER is penalised for winning over track and trip on his debut but was impressive when coming from last to first and winning with plenty to spare. Gunfighter placed at Newbury on his debut and though failing to threaten, he still finished in front of Ippotheos, Meet Me In Meraki and American Bay. Nukanan is related to a winner in France and is preferred to Mr Monaco and Prince Eric of the newcomers.
