Verdict

Boiling Point has placed twice at Newbury so far but has been looking a trifle one-paced. At the likely odds, the Newmarket raider could be worth opposing. Strong Request hasn’t really threatened so far but it would be no surprise if he made the frame again. COLORADA DANCER travelled down to Sandown to make his debut and was a bit unfortunate in only finishing second to Royal Supremacy as Billy Garritty had the door shut on him more than once. Compensation awaits here granted normal progress. Stay In The Game is related to several winners and was a 120,000gns yearling, though changed hands for less than that earlier this year.
