In depth

Verdict

Plenty of newcomers representing powerful yards to keep an eye on. That includes stablemates Wisden and Approaching Squall for the Stoute stable while Ejbaar and Legal Shark are others to note in the betting along with Quantative. The latter is a half-brother to a couple of winners and shares ownership with SCOONER, who finished behind a subsequent winner when third at Newbury in October. Given that is much stronger form than Keep In Line's modest debut effort at Kempton, Roger Charlton's colt gets the nod.
