A potentially informative maiden in which the market should be a good guide. The Zoffany colt Mukallaf, who went for 26,000gns as a foal, changed hands for 200,000gns as a yearling and will be expected to start repaying that back sooner rather than later. The Amber Fort cost $100,000 and is related to a US Grade 3 winner while Euginio was a 155,000gns yearling and is a half-brother to three winners. Harbour Master caught the eye at Windsor three weeks ago but HURRICANE RUSH is preferred. His sire Helmet is on the up and Charlie Hills' colt was a real eye-catcher on debut at Newbury, where he stayed on late under tender handling and finished ahead of Sufrah. Richard Kingscote prefers the twice-raced Charlie Beer Punt to newcomer Roaring Character of Tom Dascombe's two runners.
