Deep Strato easily landed the odds in his only race between the flags and will be fancied to make a winning start to his career under Rules but DIAMOND GEEZER, half-brother to the winning hurdler Bread And Butter, will likely know what’s required and is just preferred. The filly Chantilly Dragon is also worth a market check while Vanilla Dancer should build on her course and distance third.
