In depth

Verdict

Not a lot to go on but Lease Lend is preferred to Royal Crystalcadou and Trocadeno. The selection dotted up at odds of 33/1 on debut and could be called the winner from some way out. As a four-year-old against older horses, he is still in receipt of weight from the majority of his rivals and he can bring course experience to bear. Royal Crystalcadou is respected as an inmate of the Paul Webber stable. Closely related to Royal Altalza, he has a likeable enough pedigree for the winter game. Trocadeno cost 40 000 guineas at the Doncaster Sales and is bred to get further in time. Glens Bairn is related to a number of flat performers so should be forward in his work. Island King was a relatively cheap purchase though he makes some appeal as a son of known mudlark, Turtle Island. O'Sogood should have improved for the run whilst Brave Brigadier is probably ,uch better than a debut at Newcastle suggests. The Borderer is watched in the market. Lease Lend will be short odds but appears the percentage call.
