In depth
Verdict
MASTER OF BRAZIL stands out of those with racecourse experience having found only one too good over today’s trip at Lingfield on his debut. Michael Bell’s charge gets the vote with Silvestre De Sousa taking over the reins. Anjaaletta and Cuban Fox finished well behind the selection but Desert Vision and Smooth Spirit can only improve. Fandabidozi is a brother to a Group 3 winner in Germany and preferred to Tinchoo of the newcomers.
