John Gosden has sent out a newcomer to win two of the last three renewals and introduces EAST INDIES today. The 100,000gns Authorised colt is entered in the Racing Post Trophy and could run a big race. Sir Micheal Stoute runs three with early Derby entry Clear Evidence and Superyacht, a half-brother to smart stayers Paktai and Modun, preferred to Cat Silver while Manjaam is another newcomer to note. Valitop has the best form on the track with a debut second at Ffos Las and could figure with normal improvement.
