Verdict
Those with racecourse experience look distinctly modest to say the least. Seven For A Pound may prove best of them but one of the newcomers would not need to be anything special to come out best. Of those, Trolius has an early entry in the Derby and Metatron cost £120,000 and both are worth a second glance. Olly Murphy is better known for his exploits over jumps but has had winners here before and WHAT WILL BE, a half-brother to the smart Salouen among others, gets a speculative vote in an unappealing contest.
