    In depth

    Verdict

    Amun Ra is nicely bred and given his trainer's record here it would not do to rule him out on debut, but preference is for EXPOSE. The William Haggas-trained colt ran really well to make the frame on debut at Newbury over 6f, and with more luck in running he might have won. Related to sprinting success, he can step up to take this. Brave Battle has been a bit of a disappointment so far and may end up being better when sent into nurseries, while Darwin Star would have to have claims, although she has been more effective over the minimum trip than his one. Tenby Lady would be interesting if supported, though her pedigree suggests that she will do better with age and over a longer trip.
