In depth

Verdict

The shortlist is made up of Heavenly Leader, Little Rocker and Sydney Greenstreet, with the vote going to Little Rocker. The well-bred Heavenly Leader cost 18,000 guineas and could be interesting. Little Rocker cost 26,000 guineas and gets the same comment. Sydney Greenstreet has shown a fair level of form in two career starts to date, while Young Smokey hinted at ability on his Wetherby debut. Finally, better could rightfully have been expected of Bannow Beach on his debut; however, unless the market tells its own tale, the winner should come from one of the first three mentioned, of which we will side with Little Rocker, whose stable tends to do well in this type of race.
