Verdict
Falkland didn't show much on his debut at Doncaster but looked in need of the experience and will have come on enough to do much better here. Man Of Plenty is a stayer in the making and this looks too short so the two fillies at the foot of the weights look the most interesting pair. Interlocking is a half-sister to several winners in the USA and with her yard already going well she is obviously one to note but SAVIDA looks the one to be on. Sir Michael Stoute's daughter of King's Best is a full-sister to the Group 1 winner Crachador and a half-sister to the high-class Youmzain and other winners so she can make a winning start to her career.
