There was no support for Andretti on debut despite representing top connections but it's surely significant that Ryan Moore travels here for a single ride. Mountainside looked far from straightforward first time up and in the circumstances did well to get so close but jockey bookings would indicate that stable companion BOW AND ARROW is the Appleby preferred. William Buick has been riding regularly for the yard and can guide the Iffraaj colt home on his racecourse debut. Orlando Rogue looks an each-way option whilst Giannizzero and Berland need a market check first time up, especially the latter, now the Bell yard has sprung into much better form.
