In depth
Verdict
AIR LION is our selection with Fasilyanne and Migliori served up as alternatives. The well bred colt found hotpot Under Review a little hot on debut but this was a pleasing introduction to racing on the fibresand and compensation awaits. Fasilyanne has had plenty of chances to get off the mark and connections have tried any number of aids to break the maiden. The tongue-tie that accompanied her most recent start is now absent. Migliori made 40000gns at the Doncaster sales. He is a half-brother to prolific sprint mare, Milinsky so the market is watched. May Martin is a rare filly given that she is a daughter of Monsieur Bond. There is plenty of speed on both sides of her pedigree. Ereeford is noted in the market though the breeding points us the way of seeing him at his best over trips of a mile rather than over the minimum today. Air Lion has plenty of positives in a maiden that could throw up a couple of future winners.
